Just know if you buy one, it will chirp and squeek like crazey. Untill you get it under control everyone will tell you to get rid of it. But no one will say anything when you are on a gig and you sound like John Coltrane. The ligature that comes with it is horrible and I would advise you to get another one ASAP (the mouthpeice is very small and most tenor ligs will not fit, I found that a clarinet rovner works great). I love my link though, and I'm very glad I stuck with it. Dont let everyone get you down, they are controllable and you will get it. But they require alot of work, and a lot of concentration (get with someone who plays on one for help with the embouchure, it's different than that of a hard rubber peice) So would I reccomend it, yes, but only for those who really want that sound, and are willing to work at it.
