We designed the DURGA V soprano to be the fullest sounding soprano mouthpiece ever made. It is a giant leap forward in soprano mouthpiece design!
The DURGA V Soprano Mouthpiece has a very special newly designed baffle. This new baffle allows the airstream to fill up the mouthpiece chamber much more than other traditional designs. Coupled with its new Medium-Stadium-Chamber™ the DURGA V Soprano is not brighter, just fuller sounding. There are a lot of secrets in this particular design.
Don’t let the high baffle fool you, it does not sound thin or nasal….just full and BIG like you’ve never heard a soprano mouthpiece sound before! Suitable for both powerful music and ballads both!

REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
“My favorite soprano mouthpiece EVER! It does everything well and has none of the drawbacks of other metal mouthpieces. Just amazing!” – Koh Mr. Saxman (Thailand’s Premier Saxophonist)
“The Durga 3 Soprano Mouthpiece blew me away literally!!! I have tried tons of soprano mouthpieces and there is nothing like this, not even close! The consistency of the notes up and down the register is amazing, all remaining in tune! Most pieces don’t stay in tune in the altissimo range, but this does easily. The low Bb is easy to get and warm! I was inspired by Mindi Abair’s new Theo Wanne Alto mouthpiece, but there was nothing like it on Soprano, until now! Thank you Theo Wanne for being a Genius!” – Steve S.
The Durga 3 is definitely a Game Changer! “This thing is unbelievable! The sound is sonically Huge, Fat, Warm and Bright at the same time!! The Durga 3 is definitely a Game Changer for the new age of saxophone playing!! Fat, warm, rich, clear, brilliant, elegant, everything you could want in a soprano mouthpiece! Theo, you really did a good job on this thing. It’s unbelievable!” – Westcoast Sax Review Watch the full review here!
Theo has created another winner! “Wow, I just received the new Durga Gold Soprano mouthpiece from Theo Wanne and it plays beautifully. It plays very smoothly from top to bottom and yet has that familiar Durga edge that cuts through without being harsh. Theo has created another winner. I just love playing this mouthpiece!.” – Saxophone Insights Seattle Review
Props to Theo Wanne for making a great mouthpiece! “I’m not one to change my setup much. I was playing the same setup for 10 years, but then I tried the Theo Wanne DURGA mouthpiece and really really loved it. Similar sound to my prior favorite but it didn’t give me any problems my other mouthpiece did. Props to Theo Wanne for making a great mouthpiece, I’m very happy with it!” – Chris Godber
The DURGA is by far the best mouthpiece I’ve ever played “The DURGA 3 is absolutely amazing. I’ve been playing soprano 12 years, practice every day, and tried mouthpiece after mouthpiece. The DURGA is by far the best mouthpiece I’ve ever played. It has the volume, power and texture I want. I went through so many mouthpieces over the years. Thank you so much Theo for designing this mouthpiece! . If you want a big fat sound, I suggest the Theo Wanne DURGA soprano mouthpiece. It has a very easy sound. The craftsmanship is truly amazing” – Wayne McDonald
