Common Questions About the Otto Link OLR-402-8S
What does the 8* (0.100 in) tip opening mean for feel and reeds?
An 8* tip opening is on the more open end for alto sax mouthpieces, typically offering more flexibility in volume and color. Many players pair it with slightly softer reeds than they would use on a more closed tip, but ideal strength depends on your embouchure and the cut of the reed.
Is the Otto Link Tone Edge OLR-402-8S only for jazz?
It is favored for jazz because the large chamber supports a warm, full sound with projection, but it can also work well for contemporary, pop, and general-purpose ensemble playing when matched with an appropriate reed and setup.
Does it include a ligature and cap?
Yes. The Otto Link OLR-402-8S typically ships with a ligature and cap, and this listing includes them under Accessories.
