I don’t believe it has been worked on. Mouthpiece Skip Used On Tenor The Early Babbitt Super Tone Master Otto Link USA is a 7* that measures about .103. This was opened up to an 8 by Theo Wanne and then brought back to about a 7* by Steve Cutcher of Philadelphia. The mouthpieces I typically choose to play in live situations have always been pieces with larger baffles or have been modified Meyers and Links with baffles added. It is a pleasure to play mouthpieces like those above (without large baffles) when playing a more traditional style such as bebop. Skip Spratt’s Reeds I’ve used the same “go to” reed I’ve used since 1987 - Vandoren Java 3 on both mouthpieces. Back then I bought a Guardala Studio Alto and a Guardala MB 1 direct from Dave Guardala I asked him what reeds he suggested for those pieces and he said, “Java 3.” I’ve used them ever since. Tried just about everything else along the way and have changed mouthpieces but have stuck with Java 3 (original green box).
