    This original Otto Link hard rubber Tone Edge tenor saxophone mouthpiece, also called the Slant Signature because of the slanted Otto Link signature stamped during the 1950/60's, was sent to me for re-facing and enlarging of the tip opening.
    The tip rail was crooked and the table was not flat, as can be seen in the video. The client's request was that I open the tip to a size 7* or an 8.
    I opened the mouthpiece to 0.108" (7**) and kept the baffle reasonably low, in the manner these pieces are known to be.
    I used the same German Hard Rubber Composite I use for production of my own mouthpieces and build up the area on the beak where the groove was, before reshaping it to the original beak height.
    The client responded:
    " I knew these mouthpieces would come back playing really well, but I don’t think I realized how well!
    The Otto Link hard rubber tenor is my favorite tenor mouthpiece of all time!
    You are a true artist and I am eternally grateful for your care and patience with this work! ”

    Hi. Nice work. Was wondering if you know anyone that replicates the old Eric Brand mpc. refacing kit. I always liked the gauges they had for adjusting the resistance curve radius. Customizing mpcs. is like cutting a diamond, one wrong move and it's over, and alot of the time they need reworking right from the factory. With all the work you do, I'm sure you know what I'm talkin' 'bout. Thanks. Nice Vid!!

    Johannes, Thanks for all of the great videos here, very informative and useful! Keep them coming! I have a quick question: I've got a well-used metal Link STM 6 facing. Nothing wrong with it, I don't want to reface it or open the tip up or anything, I just want to polish it up and restore a lot of the little scratches and marks on it (no major dings or dents, just minor surface scratches, but a lot of them....).
    I used some Brasso and a soft microfiber cloth on it already, which did a great job of cleaning it all up and clearing any gunk on it, BUT.... didn't do anything for the micro scratches...
    Any recommendations?
    In one of your videos I recall that you may have used a rotary tool I think with a buffer accessory attached to it? I remember the final product looked like a new mouthpiece! Would you recommend something like that?
    Thanks in advance for any advice you might provide.
