Otto Link Mouthpieces – A New Era Begins (2026)

In 2026, a new chapter begins in the legendary history of Otto Link saxophone mouthpieces. JJ Babbitt, the factory responsible for Otto Link manufacturing since 1972, has partnered with Theo Wanne to usher in a new era of precision, consistency, and performance.

For the first time in history, Otto Link mouthpieces are produced using a dual manufacturing approach. Theo Wanne—internationally recognised as one of the leading experts in mouthpiece design and history (including his extensive documentation of Otto Link on his website)—is uniquely positioned to help carry forward the legacy of these iconic mouthpieces.

This landmark partnership restores Otto Link mouthpieces to the exceptional standards of their golden years while integrating the benefits of modern precision engineering and advanced manufacturing technology. The result is the finest generation of Otto Link mouthpieces ever produced, offering superior consistency, accuracy, and playability.

Precision CNC Manufacturing for Consistent Results

A major advancement in the current lineup of metal Otto Link mouthpieces is the use of state‑of‑the‑art CNC machining. Each mouthpiece is now produced from a single solid piece of metal, rather than being cast from two separate halves joined with silver solder.

Previous manufacturing methods often resulted in variations between individual mouthpieces. With modern CNC production, these inconsistencies have been completely eliminated, ensuring reliably high standards across the entire range.

Improved Performance. Timeless Otto Link Sound.

Every mouthpiece in the new Otto Link range delivers:

• Improved consistency and precision of finish
• Enhanced response, projection, and tonal control
• The classic Otto Link sound, refined through modern engineering

Whether you play jazz, fusion, or contemporary music, these mouthpieces retain the iconic warmth and depth saxophonists expect—now with noticeably improved reliability and performance.
