For the first time ever, the Otto Link Florida is available in a hard rubber version.

That matters, because hard rubber doesn’t simply replicate metal. It brings a different feel, a different texture to the response, and a different kind of tonal color, while still delivering the same Florida design intent: extra focus, extra edge, and a more immediate presence than a traditional, darker Link profile.

Tip Opening: 8* - .115

Material: Rubber molded and vulcanized.

Genre: Jazz (all forms), Blues, Rock, Pop, Fusion.

Tone Qualities: Bright, powerful with a distinctive edge and clarity, balanced across the full range.

Resistance: Low resistance demands more airflow for greater control.

Projection: Outstanding projection, capable of cutting through large ensembles with ease.

Built on JJ Babbitt’s proprietary molded and vulcanized hard rubber process, the Florida Hard Rubber preserves a rich tonal foundation and the unmistakable Link core, then pairs it with the Florida’s energized geometry for a voice that is clear, forward, and flexible. It’s an ideal choice for players who want Florida-style cut and immediacy, but prefer the feel, warmth, and control that hard rubber is known for.

In short: it’s the Florida concept in a new material language, without losing the Otto Link identity.
