The Mpc arrived after one week you sended it to Vienna. Anyway, my Missing Link plays great! „Great“ is an understatement. It has got all the characteristics you promised ( I was a bit skeptical because so many mouthpiece makers promise the egg-laying wooly milk sow and it never worked for me.) Response is light, the Horn is singing and resonating in EVERY register with the same quality. It does exactly what you promised! What I really love is the Steve Lacy – Vibe I can get out of it. Intonation is spot on like on my Selmer c* which always was my „no embouchure adjustment needed“ I can go soundwise anywhere depending on the reed choice and my own imagination. Again the Alexander reeds work best for me (DC for brighter and focused NY for darker and full.) I unterstand the concept of the Marca Reed you gave me, although they still have a little „lush“ feeling to me. Due the corona-crisis I was just checking out some mpcs for fun. I never thought I will change my setup (Selmer Vintage classical Metal E) which I played exclusively for 20 years. And I tried a lot. All the Selmers, all the Vandoren, some Otto links, two Doc Tenney Links. None of them came close. You definitely know what you are doing! Thank you very much! Stay healthy and best greetings from the (very hot) Vienna…
