The most commonly used metal mouthpiece for the tenor sax is the Otto Link Super Tone Master. This is the same mouthpiece used by Dexter Gordan and John Coltrane.These are made from bell brass than silver, nickle or gold plated. The most preferred facing is the 7*.(.105") however many professionals use the 8 (.110") or the 7 (100".) Generally the more open the tip is, you would a slightly softer reed and the converse is true . (smaller tip ,harder reed.)John Coltrane played on a 6*, with 4's (reeds). There are some players who use a super open tip, Johnny Griffin and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis both used a Link 10*.That is a massive (.135")!
