Mouthpiece Work / HR Florida Otto Link Facing Chart

SUBJECT: HR Florida Otto Link Facing Chart
Has anyone got a facing chart for a HR "Florida" Otto Link (4* to 5* is what I'm looking for)? Since I don't know which feelers are supposed to be used for each of the lengths given, it's probably a good idea to sa which ones are at which lengths, just to make sure I don't misunderstand things. Alternatively, if anyone has a facing for Getz's mpc's from the "Bossa" period (of course, the real facing would be more useful than a contrived one, but who knows if Joe's old boss actually had the real facing or not???), that would be a great help. This is for the Rico Royal mpc that I said about earlier (obviously I'm going to grind out the baffle and chamber to be more like a Link's chamber). Thanks in advance. Danny

Note: Most glass gauges are marked in 1/2 mm. Rico #3 reeds Feelers .0015, .010, .024, .034, .050 Getz did play on a lot of different pieces, but this was his favorite facing on metal Links as he had several Links done to this facing.

From something else that was put onto the SOTW list, Getz seemed to use Ben Harrod, so it makes me wonder if Joe's old boss actually did do the Getz pieces, of whether it's just another one of those "I think Getz would use this facing" things... Also there are a few "Pompano" Otto Links. Is Pompano another mouthpiece refacer, or is this some sort of special model?

"Florida" Links were made in Pompano Beach, Florida. Hence the reference to "Pompano". >From: "Danny Barrett" <danny_tb@...> >Reply-To: MouthpieceWork@yahoogroups.com >To: MouthpieceWork@yahoogroups.com >Subject: [MouthpieceWork] Re: HR Florida Otto Link Facing Chart >Date: Mon, 04 Nov 2002 22:10:37 -0000 > >From something else that was put onto the SOTW list, Getz seemed to >use Ben Harrod, so it makes me wonder if Joe's old boss actually did >do the Getz pieces, of whether it's just another one of those "I >think Getz would use this facing" things... > >Also there are a few "Pompano" Otto Links.
