Let me just start this post by saying that I'm by no means a pro player, but I am an intermediate player interested in getting my otto link STM refaced, as there are a few imperfections that I would like to have fixed up. I am located near Miami, Florida. Are there any suggestions on where I could go to get this done?
Also, out of curiosity, what could be the expected price range for work like this?
Apologies for my ignorance, just a curious up-and-comer looking for some support.

Welcome.

There are several refacers that are members of SotW - many of us have used their services over the years via mail order. Prices for a metal reface tend to run in the $100-200 range. Some refacers will evaluate your mouthpiece first, and then talk about what needs to be done.

Here’s a link to Keith’s site: dataItem-j8p3hesf-1645544421177-0

3 great choices:
Erik Greiffenhagen, Mojo, Jimmy Jensen.

There are tons of refacers out there, but these three in particular, are excellent at what they do, reasonably priced, and the turnaround is usually very quick.

I could list dozens of refacers, but any of these three that I mentioned will do a great job for you.

I live in South Florida and I don't know of anyone in Miami (or near by) that I would go to. The folks mentioned above are all great. You really can't go wrong with these guys.

I love Eric Greiffenhagen, James Bunte, Norbert Stachel, Brian Powell, and Tommy Occhiuto for Links and other pieces. I haven’t played one worked on by others so I can’t say, but others have chimed in!

It's cheap to ship mouthpieces, so I would just ship it one of the people listed.

I like Phil's mouthpieces and have no doubt that his refacing is great too, but it's a bit more expensive to ship them to France and back and I think that there are customs issues.

Eric G did a great job on an Otto Link bari mouthpiece several years back. Jimmy Jensen has done great work on my horns but never had a reason to send him any mouthpiece work.

Mojo has been on the site for years and I don't remember anyone ever saying anything bad about his work.

Bottom line thought, 10Mfan knows his mouthpieces, if he recommends a refacer, that's enough for me.
