My take on this mouthpiece is that it is easier to play/less tiring than my HR Link, tunes a little sharper, is much louder with less effort, and is much easier to blow in the altissimo range, subtone of low B and Bb is tough to match with that of low C and C#, I think other players in the band can hear it O.K. too. For me it is definitly worth owning. I don't think I sound anything like Long Tall Dex!! Maybe more like Sonny Rollins(yeah right) if anyone besides myself.

A strange thing happened earlier tonight, in that while playing next to another tenor player, we found that we were matching tone color, volume, and nuance almost exactly. Me on the Barone Standard & he on an old Link STM 8. I was playing a Conn 16m, & he was using a Yamaha 62. FWIW I tend to play to the dark side of a whatever piece I'm using.

Can you tell more about your Custom Link work by mojobari? How's the sound compare with regular new Link? What difference when playing - less air? More easy to control?


I think if you like Dexter's sound, you should ask mojobari work on your Link when you place order to him.

my mojobari refaced link is much free blowing,more solid in low note and warm in high note.it's sound like joshua redman more than dixter. sound more complex and more texture than before.
