Hi guys,

apparently, Eric tweaks 20 yo Otto Links by working the facing, rails, chamber and carving an "EB-style" in epoxy. He also thins out the beak to make them feel more like EB's.

Looking to get some info if anyone has had the opportunity to try these pieces. Thanks!

I dont know if I tried exactly what you're talking about, but when I went to Eric's shop he had at least 20 links for alto and tenor he had worked on. I tried 5 different Florida links and tenor and they all played excellent. Eric's selection is unmatched. I don't think you could try every mouthpiece he has in his shop in one session

As a materials guy, I'm curious... How the heck does that happen? What were the circumstances? At which end did it open the seam?
