Description
A recreation of the infamous Reso Chamber Otto Link Tone Edge, made with painstaking accuracy
These classic mouthpieces were made in New York in the 40s and were known for having a dark core. Using the finest examples of original pieces and combining them with modern CAD technology/CNC milling Retro Revival has made these classic pieces available to everyone once again! The sound is warm and full, but still with a big dynamic range.
Aside from having a really dark core, the Reso chamber mouthpieces were known for having an even quality throughout the range. Retro Revival has based their ‘Tru-Res’ mouthpiece from an original, pristine Reso chamber model, and at the same time, they have offered a much wider range of tips, from 7* to 8*, to cater to the needs of the regular jazz musician. The rarely available versions found on eBay normally have much smaller tip openings and so don’t have much practical value to the typical player. Again, Retro Revival has done a marvelous thing by bringing back these mouthpieces into the public domain!
Joel Peskin, founder of Retro Revival mouthpieces, states on his website: ‘It is our intention to earn your trust by offering the real deal. No hype, exaggerated claims and cliché sales gimmickry. Our intended goal is to offer affordable vintage replica mouthpieces that we would actually use and love to play! To our highest standards, we are committed to play testing every mouthpiece, and with great pride, we are confident that sax players from every age and level of experience will feel and hear the special qualities of our ‘Super D’ Tenor, the ‘New Yorker’ Alto, and other classic Retro Revival replicas soon to come.’

Reviews
"This mouthpiece has a beautiful rich sound – dark and full bodied. In a similar way to Retro Revival’s Tru Slant, this piece has real enjoyable playing quantities. The sound is immediately big, full of core and simply sounds great! You can see why this was such an iconic piece in the 40’s, and I know that so many players are going to have a lot of fun playing on this modern version!" - Jim (Sax.co.uk)
