Constant Improvement

Theo is always improving his product.  Just like an iPhone, which has evolved from iPhone 4, to 5, to 6, and 7.  Or how cars, computers, skis, boats, stereos, and bicycles are constantly improving. Theo has the expertise and knowledge to continually improve his products.

Standing on the shoulders of the Greats

Theo has already stood on the shoulders of the great mouthpiece manufacturers like Meyer, Otto Link, Berg Larsen, Brilhart, etc.   He understands their designs like the back of his hand and has improved them for decades for such musicians as Gerald Albright, Joshua Redman, Grover Washington Jr., Chris Potter, and Jeff Coffin, etc.   

While other companies are still trying to reproduce the classic vintage mouthpieces, Theo’s has been improving on them.   

In Theo’s worldwide clinics he receives great praise, but also helpful feedback.  If someone doesn’t prefer his product Theo finds out why to discover what further knowledge there is for him to gain, and implement, into his products.

Theo’s Life Purpose

Theo firmly believes it is his life’s purpose to design and manufacture mouthpieces that allow for unencumbered freedom of musical expression.   This is his service to musicians, and in turn, it is his wish for that unencumbered freedom of expression to help musicians uplift their audiences.    Together, creating inspired music is our service to the world!
