The Iconic Link Hard Rubber Voice

The Otto Link Tone Edge is a cornerstone of jazz history, representing the iconic Otto Link sound made famous by players such as Stan Getz, Bob Reynolds, Michael Brecker, Chris Potter, and many more.

For generations, it has delivered the sound players associate with classic hard rubber Link: warm, full-bodied, and deeply resonant, with a thick core that holds together across the full range of the instrument. It’s the mouthpiece that can sound smooth and round in soft passages, then respond with clarity and presence when the music calls for more.

Warmth, Depth, and the Classic Link Core

At its best, the Tone Edge gives you a voice that feels undeniably Link: robust and centered, rich in the low register, and expressive enough to shape phrasing without fighting the mouthpiece. It has long been the hard rubber standard for players who want that unmistakable jazz character with room for personal expression.

In this new era, the Tone Edge is built to deliver that experience with modern consistency.

As a hard rubber mouthpiece, it begins with JJ Babbitt’s proprietary molded and vulcanized rubber process, which helps create the tonal foundation that defines the Link sound. From there, modern precision and tighter process control through our manufacturing partnership with Theo Wanne Mouthpieces ensures the design intent is executed more consistently from mouthpiece to mouthpiece.

The result is simple: the Tone Edge legacy, delivered with the trust players have been asking for.
