I think maybe both 
I spoke to Freddie Gregory maybe 3-4 years ago with a view to refacing my metal link and he mentioned he worked on Peter Kings old Link.
Many people don't like metal links on Alto....but the proof is in the puddings.

I searched for a used Freddie Gregory mpc for a long time and eventually found one. I love it! He makes a few different styles (check out his website www.freddiegregory.com for the current selection) so you'd probably have to be a bit more specific about what you're trying to match too. The one I own has a pronounced (slightly rolled over ) baffle into a large chamber - its about 20 years old. Of course Freddie's still making mpc's - give him a call (remember he's on european time (8 hours ahead)!)
After long searching, as far and wide as all the shops in town (Amsterdam that is) allowed me. I believe that I've found the ideal ( to me at least...) combination and that my 1963 Martin RMC the Martin and the Otto Link STM arethe ideal match, by far better than any other one I've tried to put together with either metal or ebonite pieces.Andrew D said:Many people don't like metal links on Alto....but the proof is in the puddings
I've tried many combinations (Selmer Metal Jazz, Selmer Super Session, Selmer S80, Berg larsen SMS metal, Meyer, Ebonite Link, and many more which I briefly tried, and forgot ) but the Link is the best.
Perhaps the only perplexities are with the size of the STM which I can handle without too many problems. I've started on a 7* and later on stepped down half a notch with a 7 which improved control and subtoning. I've noticed that sometimes control is difficult with my reeds of choice, Alexander Superial 2,5. It improves with D.C. Superial 2,5 but I can't always find them. I've tried without much succes other reeds. I am about to try some fibracell.
So it's the saxophone?baylistenor said:
