zeek...what about the new OTTO LINK Tenny Custom hard rubber $350 retail...Have you tried it? Has anyone tried it? I just noticed the listing on the SAXQUEST site.

I just bought and returned (same day ) an Otto Link metal STM 6*.
I had read some reviews about poor quality and tone. The reed did not line up with the mouthpiece end. The stock Yamaha mouthpiece played better. I agree with the multiple posts about this product being junk. 

I bought one of these to.  Hadn't played in years and I thought "why not try a metal mouthpiece?" while attempting to get my lip back.  I thought it might help me capture more of a jazz "tone". 

I found out that I thought my old original mouthpiece sounded better.  Also, the reeds I buy are longer than the face of the mouthpiece -- I actually called about this thinking I had been sent an Alto version by mistake.  But I was told it normal for the reed to fit like that.

The other problem is the ligature -- it isn't that good and can scratch the mouthpiece so I bought a Rovner ligature to fix that.  Be aware that even though the Rovner CM1 is advertised for "small" metal tenor mouthpieces -- the CM1 is too small for this otto link -- get the next bigger size if you have the same idea.

Other than that I think it looks great on my horn, and I actually like the solid heavier feel. 

In the end I think one's "sound" comes from YOU and hours of playing and practice.  I felt the whole mouthpiece thing was over-hyped, especially at my level of just re-starting to play.
