(Sax on the Web) \u00a0I opened the package and put the reed I had been playing on my hard rubber Otto Link on it and it played great right from the start. \u00a0I was very impressed with the way it responded. \u00a0It was right up there with my hard rubber Otto Links that Brian Powell did for me. \u00a0On SOTW a few people had said that they felt resistance when they played it. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t notice that at all. \u00a0I loved the way it responded. \u00a0 Because it&#8217;s a .101 opening and I&#8217;m used to playing at .110 it felt small for me but that is to be expected. \u00a0I&#8217;d be very interested in trying a piece like this at a ,110 opening. \u00a0It has a higher rollover baffle and a medium chamber(my links are a tiny bit larger) so the sound is a tad brighter and more focused I think. \u00a0Although, it&#8217;s at ,101 I was surprised by how much power it can muster when pushed. \u00a0Also when you hold back a little it can get a nice lush sound to it. I think Phil did a great job with this.<\/span><span> The first cut is a mellow rhythm changes. \u00a0The second cut is more of a loud R&amp;B vibe. I had to do it in my garage because I kept distorting the recording in my studio.(Phil can be contacted at: sigmund451@hotmail.com )<\/span>.
