I had a customer come in the other day who had an OttoLink Super Tone Master 5* w/ the box. I'm not so sure its the original box (and i'll have to post pictures later today for some help).
He had a rubber two-tone Berg Larsen Ebonite, also, so I offered to trade him my Stainless Steel Berg Larsen (one of the newer varieties - RUbber not quite lined up with the rest of the mouthpiece, and I had some serious squeeking issues).
He liked it when he tried it on his Selmer Mark VII. He had alot of squeeking on it at first (like I did when I first played it).
The Berg Larsen always played severely sharp for me, and I was led to believe that I shoudl have gone for a vintage berg, or a vintage otto link (at least an older variety).
After trying his otto link, and he trying mine, we decided on a trade.
I knew the otto link was far less expensive than my berg larsen, but I hadn't been able to find an older Otto Link (it was used) out here in the part of SO Cal I live in.
Of course, I know the immediate answer is that "if its worth it to you, then its a good trade." Which to me it seems so.
But what do y'all think of the trade? Would I have fared better doing a trade with my berg on here?
