MANTRA Alto Mouthpiece

OR
SKU: 161414215

$450.00

Description

The MANTRA alto mouthpiece has a thick, full and clear sound versatile enough for all types of playing!  It has more power than a vintage Meyer style mouthpiece, yet is not ‘bright’ like a high baffle mouthpiece.  The Rolling Stones (Karl Denson) is currently touring with the MANTRA alto mouthpiece.

You can lay back and get almost a classical sound as well as push the issue and fill the room with clear centered sound and not be freakishly harsh or unpleasant. Imagine an all around mouthpiece that truly lives up to the players needs. Theo’s really onto something here. Do yourself a favor and try it for yourself.” – Jimmy Haag (Diana Ross, Lou Rawls, Tommy Dorsey)

“I have hundreds of mouthpieces but haven’t had the urge to change since I’ve played these Mantras!” – Sam Phipps (Oingo Boingo)

The MANTRA combines both a shallow-step and roll-over baffle, and adds the Theo Wanne proprietary small “shark-gill” chamber. This is not a True Large Chamber like many other Theo Wanne™ designs, but a very unique small chamber evolved from Theo’s study of boundary layer effect and boat hull design.   These features give the MANTRA enough projection and depth to be suitable for both Rock n’ Roll, and more traditional ballad playing as well.

Like all Theo Wanne™ products the MANTRA is made using Theo’s state-of-the-art design and manufacturing technologies. You will receive the most consistent and highest quality mouthpiece available in history.

“Surprisingly responsive and reed friendly. I have hundreds of mouthpieces but haven’t had the urge to change since I’ve played these Mantras!” – Sam Phipps (Oingo Boingo)

“Your mouthpieces are like drugs to an addict. You eventually realize there is no going back ever. Once you’ve discovered a Theo Wanne Mouthpiece, your life is changed forever. What once appeared to be quite useable is now obsolete. No one can ever go back to playing what worked before. The addiction is now uncontrollable. You crave what’s in Theo’s next inspiration. I’m hopelessly hooked. You’ve got me and there’s no cure.” – Jimmy Haag (DianaRoss,  Lou Rawls, Tommy Dorsey)

“Clear, effortless altissimo, yet a full, warm sub-tone in the lower register. This mouthpiece allows me to achieve whatever it is I am looking for!” – Elan Trotman (Roberta Flack; ‘Best male jazz performer’ by New England Urban Music Awards)

“WOW, that’s amazing!” – Grace kelly (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert)

“This Changed my Sax Life!!! I would not be a Better player, if it were not for Theo Wanne’s Beautifully crafted mouthpieces. This Mantra is named perfectly because it really speaks like a BEAST. You can literally push this mouthpiece further than anything else in your collection. The best part is that I can be easily controlled. That says it all for a metal mouthpiece!! Don’t think twice, click the mouse and buy!  Thank You Theo for creating greatness!” – Brittany A.
 
“The best I’ve ever played! The Mantra alto, tenor and soprano mouthpieces are the best I’ve played!! Not only do they produce a great sound, but they are also very versatile and can fit any musical situation. They help to develop a very personal sound. Thanks Theo!” – Juan Alzate

“Like many professionals, I have tried and experimented with many sax mouthpieces in an attempt to find the right fit for me. In the words of Frank Wells, “You have to play and hang with a mouthpiece for 6 months in order to determine whether it’s what you truly want.” I believe that’s an accurate statement since we easily fall in love with something right away only to find out that we jumped the gun. I’ve played a lot of mouthpieces and not only say that I proudly play and endorse this mouthpiece but say this from the heart and I am not paid in any way to do so.Theo Wanne continually is amazing in his search for excellence and has definitely developed this particular mouthpiece to near perfection in my humble opinion. Like I said, if it works here in Las Vegas, imagine what it can do for you. I love the Mantra mouthpiece because it works for me but you will have to try it for yourself along with his many wonderful line of mouthpieces.The right equipment definitely makes the difference!” – Jimmy Haag (Diana Ross, Lou Rawls, Tommy Dorsey) from WWBW Review

“Most descriptions I read here at WWBW are worded as this mouthpiece or that one is designed to compete with today’s high tech sounds. While that sounds great, it is indeed in no way accurate. Mostly everyone I see needs to bury the mic or even need their own personal cordless mic in order to be heard. That being the case then we all really need a sax mouthpiece that can meet those standards but also be able to blend with others. This means intonation and sonority. Theo Wanne is constantly improving on his ideas to help others achieve their personal sound and is always improving on his designs. I personally play his Mantra Gold Alto Mouthpiece. You can lay back and get almost a classical sound as well as push the issue and fill the room with clear centered sound and not be freakishly harsh or unpleasant. Imagine an all around mouthpiece that truly lives up to the players needs.Theo’s really onto something here and I proudly play and profess its excellence. Do yourself a favor and try it for yourself.” – Jimmy Haag (Diana Ross, Lou Rawls, Tommy Dorsey) from WWBW Review #2
