Description
The vintage Otto Link Slant Signature is one of the most sought-after tenor mouthpieces ever made — warm, fat, and full of character, with a sound that defined jazz tenor playing for a generation. Finding a good original today is expensive, inconsistent, and increasingly difficult. The Drake Son of Slant was built to solve that problem.
The essential design elements of the vintage HR Slant are all here — the rollover baffle, the large chamber, the overall warmth and depth that made the original so prized. But Drake didn't simply copy the geometry. The rollover baffle and floor delivery points have been specifically calibrated for optimal airflow and a beautifully balanced overtone series. The slight undercutting of the side walls adds dimension and openness that the vintage piece doesn't always deliver consistently. The result is a mouthpiece with the vintage feel and character of a great Slant, but with the evenness and reliability that modern precision manufacturing makes possible.
This is the large chamber version — full, rich, and warm in the way only a large chamber can produce. For jazz tenor players who want that classic sound without hunting through vintage stock or paying vintage prices, the Son of Slant is the straightforward answer.
Available in size 7* (0.105" / 2.67mm) and size 8 (0.110" / 2.79mm). Includes a Drake ligature and cap.
