Otto Link Super Tone Master Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Refaced by Eric Falcon
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 […]
Modern STM Otto Link Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Refaced by Brian Powell

Pete Thomas PPT Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece 7* Review
This is a great mouthpiece from Pete Thomas over in the UK. I emailed him a few months ago because I was interested in trying one of his tenor mouthpieces. He was kind enough to send me this one. I’m not sure what it is made of but it looks pretty cool. It’s looks […]
“Live” Guardala Laser Trimmed Michael Brecker II Saxophone Mouthpiece
Here’s another live clip I dug out of my computer. This is a more mellow clip of a solo on the tune “Come Away With Me” by Norah Jones. To be honest, I’m one for staying in the mood of the tune when I solo. I can’t stand it when I hear a slow ballad […]

Does Your Saxophone Equipment Matter?
The ongoing debate in the saxophone community is whether equipment really matters. By equipment we mean the brand of saxophone, mouthpiece, ligature, reeds, neck, pads and resonators. Some people will even argue that the type of material, screws and resonance stones on the body of the sax make a difference. I’ve had students come in […]
