Otto Link Super Tone Master Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Refaced by Eric Falcon
June 18th, 2010 | 
Author: This is another Modern Otto Link Super Tone Master I received to try out. This one was originally a 7 tip (.100) but was refaced and oped up to a .110 by Eric Falcon. From what I understand Eric Falcon used to do mouthpiece work for Jody Espina of Jody Jazz. He now is refacing mouthpieces and also has his own line of HR mouthpieces that he makes at Warburton. ( I have an alto,soprano and 2 tenors sitting on my desk right now)

Florida Link Refaced by Erik Greiffenhagen
Here is an incredible Florida Link saxophone mouthpiece that was refaced by Erik Greiffenhagen from a 6 to a 7* (.105). I bought this mouthpiece from Les Arbuckle about 6 weeks ago and have been playing it ever since. Les came on SOTW (Sax on the Web) and said he had a link for sale that was one of the best he had ever played. Now I hear that quite often from people selling mouthpieces but I had never heard that from Les before so it caught my attention. I knew he had been around probably hundreds of links and if he thought this one was great then it must be.

Lawton 9BB JVW Refaced Tenor Mouthpiece Review
This a Lawton 9BB tenor saxophone mouthpiece that was refaced by JVW (Jon Van Wie). If you have never heard of Jon Van Wie, he was a great mouthpiece refacer that passed away some years ago. I had him do some work on some mouthpieces for me when I first started getting into this mouthpiece obsession of mine and his work was incredible. This week is the first time I am getting to try a Lawton and the two that I have here are great examples in my opinion (Here’s the review of the 8*BB Special I tried). The 9 tip is a bit above what I am used to at .120 but it is very easy and comfortable to play. It doesn’t feel like a .120 at all.
Lawton 8* BB Special Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This a Lawton 8*BB Special tenor saxophone mouthpiece. I’ve never tried a Lawton before so I was looking forward to playing this one. This a special one that Geoff Lawton made without the typical sliding ligature track he usually puts on his mouthpieces. This is a great playing mouthpiece. The 8* tip is a bit above what I am used to at .115 but I have a feeling that if I played this for a little bit I would get used to it.

Selmer Super Session J Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is a sound clip of my main soprano saxophone mouthpiece for the last 6 years. It is a Selmer Super Session J mouthpiece that I bought from WWBW. At the time that I bought this, I also tried an I tip opening. I remember feeling like the I gave me a Kenny G type soprano sound (more of a pop kind of sound) and the J gave me more of a Coltrane type soprano sound. I went with the J after playing them for about a week. Up to this point in my life I have played very few soprano mouthpiece. Before the Super Session J I played on a Claude Lakey for about 16 years. The only reason I played on that was because it was the only soprano mouthpiece the store had. The Selmer Super Session was a much better mouthpiece for me compared to the Lakey.
