Anybody playing these?

I'm playing a Four **** refaced to a 6* by Nicolas Trefeil and really like it, it did take a little getting used to

I have both a Four **** and a Masterlink piece for Baritone.
Both have been opened by Brian Powell to .110.
They are my main pieces.

Nice, I never saw anybody play them on bariton

I play a Master Link (actually a Kohlert, same blank) refaced to 5* on tenor, and sometimes an original Master Link on bass sax, just like Adrian Rollini. Great mouthpieces, they have a really big sound in small tip openings.

I used to have a master link and a 4**** for tenor but never really got them to work for me. Maybe it was reed choice but I ended up selling them both. I use a tone master which works a lot better for me.

I had one for Tenor for a short while but couldn’t make it work for me.

I have these 1930's Otto Link mouthpieces in my collection (all refaced before I got them):

- 1930 - 1935:
Otto Link - Master Link 6 (refaced from a 4, probably in the 40's and maybe by Otto Link himself)
Otto Link - Master Link 9 (refaced from a 5 by Mark Spencer from Australia)

- 1935 - 1940:
Otto Link - Four 8* (refaced from a ? by Jon van Wie)
Otto Link - Four 8* (refaced from a 4* by Freddy Gregory and MOJO)
Otto Link - Four 9 (refaced from a 5 by an unknown person)
Otto Link - Four 10 (refaced from a 5* by Freddy Gregory)

From those I like the ML 6 and Four**** 8* (refaced by John van Wie) the best.
After that come the Four**** 10* and ML 9, followed by the other Four**** 8* and the 9.

I don't play them as my main mouthpiece, mainly because they are not loud enough (I often play in loud environments as soloist in a Big Band).
For playing under those conditions my 1950's Otto Link STM Florida no USA 10* works the best for me, so that's my main mouthpiece (for 10 years now).

Here are some example sound clips:

1. - 'Easy Going Bass Line' (Four 8* JvW - La Voz medium):
