I've tried all the available tenor metal mpc in Tom Lee. Otto link is marvelous for its flexibility in supporting soft mellow tone as well as edgy sound. Even the other brands including Selmer could not be that satisfying. I would want to buy one for I play different musical genres. But the greatest problem comes from the design of my Yanagisawa saxophone - the inner diameter of the mpc is too large for the cork of the neck piece! So far I've been using Yanagisawa metal mpc, although it serves me well I want to explore some other possibilities. Do U have any other good suggestions for flexible tones?

steve,

you can always readjust the thickness of the neck cock for any mouthpieces, just bring your neck and the mouthpiece to any technicians in HK and they can do the job for you in 15 mins. Yanagisawa makes pretty good metal pieces, but I am more impressed with their soprano mouthpieces (of course, that's my personal opinion). For flexible tones, I would really recommend you trying some dukoffs out there, they are great mouthpieces but at the same time inheriting the same otto link problem of the unstable quality, it's really hard to find a good one out there but if you do, I can assure you you will be more than satisfied with it.

I personally settled on a dukoff after spending a good amount of time looking for the 'perfect' alto piece. The lesson I learned is that you can pretty much play almost any 'music genres' of music with a mouthpiece that is right for you.
