Hi all,
I have some old and new recorded soundclips of 'Honky Tonk Blues" played on four different Otto Link mouthpieces with a tip opening of 10* (0.135 inch). These mouthpieces are used: a metal Florida no USA 10* (1950-1960 model), a metal Early Babbitt 10* (1974 model), a HR Tone Edge 10* (1980-now model) and a metal New Vintage Tone Master 10* (2010 model). All takes are recorded on a Selmer SBA tenorsax of 1952 and a La Voz medium reed.
I just compiled one track out of the four takes and uploaded it to YouTube with a picture movie behind it showing which mouthpiece is played where in the clip. By opening the detailed description under the video you get a time index, which makes it easy to jump directly to a certain part of the recording.

Time index:
00:00 - Theme (no sax)
00:26 - Otto Link metal Florida no USA 10* (theme, 2 voices)
00:52 - Otto Link metal Florida no USA 10*
02:13 - Otto Link metal New Vintage Tone Master 10*
03:34 - Otto Link HR Tone Edge 10*
04:55 - Otto Link metal Earbly Babbitt 10*
My personal preference goes to the Florida no USA 10*.
Just posted these clips here for information. Please don't bother to much on my playing, I'm just an intermediate player who likes to make these kind of (silly!) comparisons.
