Marcus Johnson

When I first started looking for a piece I asked around and everybody recommended Theo ! So I had to try them, and I have been hooked ever since !!! Theo’s mouthpieces are absolutely amazing. The projection and warmth I get from them is like no other. I love the fact that don’t get fatigue and for that I recommend these to everybody!!!
