The Otto Link Master was a legendary vintage mouthpiece beloved by tenor legends of the golden age of jazz, including John Coltrane, Ben Webster, and Jimmy Heath. The Gottsu Master inherits its unique appearance from that mouthpiece, including the distinctive shank and protruding crest, yet is fully redesigned and improved utilizing Gottsu’s own expertise. Gottsu uses its own secret “vintage brass” alloy, which is a near identical recreation of the brass used during that golden era – made possible by the use of X-ray analysis on vintage mouthpieces. Precision machining and meticulous handfinishing result in the rich, refined, lusciously dark mellow tone that is the essence of the Gottsu Master.

The 2026 edition’s greatest evolution is its extremely refined internal design. While retaining the low, short roll-over baffle, the sidewalls have been re-shaped even deeper than before, and the chamber also widens and deepens near the end. The combination of the wider chamber and deeper sidewalls delivers an exquisite resistance that transforms your breath directly into sound.

The Gottsu Master is a masterpiece that anyone seeking the “ultimate vintage link” should experience, and the dramatic 2026 evolution has produced an even deeper, more resonant, more expressive tone.
