• Wide tonal range with rich timbre, even when played softly
• Designed to provide a natural playing feel and a harmonious interplay between air, reed and instrument
• Not designed for aggression, but for beauty, warmth and musical depth
• Ideal for ballads, small jazz ensembles and any situation where the emphasis is on tonal colour and expression
• Perfect for players seeking a natural, resonant sound with plenty of personality
• Manufactured using a modern hybrid production process based on a collaboration between JJ Babbitt and Theo Wanne
• Based on JJ Babbitt’s traditional design and distinctive Link sound
• Modern manufacturing process: each mouthpiece is precision-milled from a solid block of brass rather than being assembled from two parts, resulting in significantly improved control over internal geometry and greater dimensional consistency
• Extensive R&D confirmed that while metallurgical differences between manufacturing methods are subtle, they are not significant enough to change the playing experience in a meaningful, player-detectable way. What does change is the repeatability and reliability of the outcome.
• Significantly greater consistency between each mouthpiece than ever before in the model’s history
• Includes ligature
• Made in USA
