The other two are a 5 and a 8 that Brian Powell refaced to .105.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">They both have substantial baffles in them which gives them some extra power and brightness. the 5 is my favorite to play in my garage with an echo. \u00a0It reminds me of my Jon Van Wie Otto Link with a baffle in it. Recording it with the microtrack it sounds a bit bright but I think in a recording studio with some reverb it would sound killer. \u00a0I&#8217;ve been playing these 3 mouthpieces for the last week trying to decide which one to keep and which ones to sell. \u00a0Let me know if you hear a difference in the recordings and have an opinion.<br \/>\nListen&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;\u200b<\/p>\n<p>Florida Link 7* no USA (refaced by Theo Wanne?)<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-625-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/No%20USA%20Florida.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/No%20USA%20Florida.mp3\">https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/No%20USA%20Florida.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>Florida Link 5 (refaced to .105 by Brian Powell)<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-625-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/Florida%20Link%205.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/Florida%20Link%205.mp3\">https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/Florida%20Link%205.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>Florida Link 8 (refaced to .105 by Brian Powell)<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-625-3\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/Florida%20Link%208.mp3?_=3\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/Florida%20Link%208.mp3\">https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/Florida%20Link%208.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought I would put up a comparison clip of 3 \u00a0metal STM Florida \u00a0Otto Link tenor mouthpieces that I have. \u00a0The first one is a Florida Link 7*(no USA) that was refaced by someone.
