The last SP \u00a0otto link I got that Brian Powell had worked on was a .110 and I loved it. I t just felt like the tip opening was where I felt the most comfortable. \u00a0I sent this Early Babbitt Otto Link (.105) back to Brian and asked him to change it to a .110. \u00a0I was nervous because I really liked the piece and was afraid I was opening it too much. \u00a0I got it back from Brian and it plays better than before for me. \u00a0The .110 opening allows me to blow as much air as I have into this piece and get crazy volume. \u00a0It&#8217;s got a HUGE sound!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/public.neffmusic.com\/EBPowellHRLink.JPG\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/easygallery\/88888894\/EBPowellHRLink.JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;m pretty sure you can&#8217;t hear a difference between it and the other recordings of it on here but in person and playing wise it&#8217;s a huge difference. \u00a0It has more volume than it did before and the recording kept clipping when I would play loud so I had to back a few feet away to record it. \u00a0I&#8217;ve played this piece for a week now. This is without a doubt my main piece. \u00a0Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ll never stop trying other pieces! \u00a0Thanks Brian.
