The Durga 5 is the best alto mouthpiece I’ve ever played! It allows me achieve a bright FAT modern sound, but it is not overly bright or shrill! It’s perfect! I’ve been playing Theo’s pieces since 2015. Each one is made with a lot of care and attention to detail. I’ve played the Mantra, Durga, and the Gaia and they all play amazingly well–which can make it a tough choice…lol.
