For the last 5 years I have used the same setup on my Yamaha 62 bari.
Otto Link Super Tone Master 7* with a Med. Hard Fibracell reed.
I play in a 40s-50s R&B band that consists of 3 horns(bari and two tenors) , piano, drummer, bass, guitar, and singer.
The sound I get from my setup is great. I don't like to fuss with reeds so the fibracell is perfect. The Link gives me pretty good projection(every gig is amplified anyway) but I can blend in nicely when I need to.
The Otto Link was my 2nd Moutpiece ever and I have never had the chance to experiment with many different mouthpieces. I'd like to possibly get a more rich, full sounding(vintage?) tone without giving up the ability to cut through when I need to. Any suggestions on mouthpieces to try out? I will keep the Fibracell reeds but am open to the idea of different strengths to suit the diff mouthpieces any of y'all may suggest
