"The Nearness Of You" MPC comparison of five vintage Otto Links – small tips versus big tips
Hi all,
I recently recorded five takes of 'The Nearness Of You" to compare the sound differences between five vintage Otto Link mouthpieces. These ones are used: an Early Babbitt 8* (1974 model), a Florida no USA 10* (1950-1960 model), a Tone Master 5* (1940-1950 model), a New York Double Ring 4* and a Master Link 6 (1930-1935 model). I played the small tips with a La Voz medium hard reed and the big ones on a La Voz medium reed.
I just compiled a long track out the five 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 de video you get a time index, which makes it easy to jump directly to a certain part of the recording. Here is the link:

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.
My conclusions are that I sound quite simular on all pieces and prefer playing big tip mouthpieces with a medium reed above small tip mouthpieces with a hard reed.
