Otto Link No USA Florida 9* STM Refaced and Refinished in Rhodium!

$1,400.00Price

This is a consignment sale for a client! I am Matt Marantz and I have been refacing, repairing, and making sax mouthpieces for 15 years in NYC. Sometimes clients ask me to refinish & sell things for them and this is one of those. It is a Florida STM Link from the “No USA” series originally marked a 9*. The “No USA” period is one of the most desirable- It is from the tome period between when they were making Double Rings (the first Floridas) and Florida YSA’s which are the later variant. No Usa’s typically play with a similar weight and huskiness of their earlier brethren, but have some of the edge and power of their later cousins the “Florida USA” period. This particular one came to me refaced to a 9 by someone else. I opened the tip back to 9* .125” where it was originally marked, cut a responsive new facing curve, refinished the body & table as best as I could, and replated the entire thing in rhodium. So it is essentially new again, although some of the wear on the table shows through the plating. It is about 65 years old, to be fair. Great playing piece, a real treasure of a find. My price is based on my client’s asking price. Feel free to send reasonable offers. Thanks for looking!

    I will do a 3 day trial on this piece but it must be returned as new with absolutely no scratches and bite marks and you'll be supbject to a 10% restocking fee.
