This is a piece I optimized in 2010 for myself and then gigged on for a number of years. It is a Straight signature Link Florida originally stamped 7 and restored to .101. There was a small nick in the tip that I repaired. It is a VERY LOUD piece with a tonal color right in the middle between dark and bright (relative to what these piece might usually be) and is exceptionally smooth and comfortable to blow.
