ESSENTIALS: Jazz

In the past, low-cost mouthpieces were low quality, and high-quality mouthpieces were expensive. However, the Theo Wanne™ ESSENTIALS COLLECTION brings you  incredible quality and low cost, at the same time!

The Jazz Tenor brings back that classic, vintage jazz sound that you love. The tone isn't too dark, or too bright, it's responsive and it plays evenly from top to bottom. If you are playing tenor in any kind of jazz setting, this is the model you want.


It is available in 2 popular tip openings:

Size 5: 0.080" or 2.03mm

Size 7*: 0.105" or 2.67mm

The video of Changing pressure plate is very useful. I wish I saw it when I bought TW mouthpiece 2 years ago. I wish that there will be a video for how to place a mouthpiece pad. I cannot place it inside the pad hole perfectly.

The Gaya metal 8 is my favorite mouthpiece, easy to blow, the sound of this mouthpiece is fantastic, definitely the best mouthpiece on the planet.

The only thing I love more than a Theo Wanne mouthpiece is working with Theo's incredible team. There customer service and attention to detail is unmatched in the modern mouthpiece game. My only complaint is that I didn't start playing their mouthpieces sooner.

I have played a Durga 4 HR 8 Alto for several years and have been very pleased with the sound. But... I was reading Theo's comments on the Durga 5 HR. "It does everything that the 4 does only better". Hmm.... I thought I should try it and because of the trial period I knew I could return it. I am so pleased to say that Theo was 100% correct. I am so pleased with the Durga 5 HR 8. It really does everything better. Thank you Theo.

Друг привёз из Америки Durga 5 10 (.096") два года назад. Я, в основном альтист. Основной мундштук у меня эбонитовый Berg Larsen 110/1 M. Захотелось метала))) Потестить в Москве Theo Wanne не где...поэтому заказал самый большой. Всё очень понравилось в среднем и нижнем регистрах. А в верху контролируется тяжеловато. Нужно "качать " мышцы))) , не смотря на то , что пасть моего Berg L ещё больше. И в концертной работе я пока ему не очень доверяю. Срывается временами на кикс в 3й октаве! Но деваться некуда))) Будем его приручать! Купил за 750$, а сейчас цена 675$, что очень обидно. Ну да ладно. Если бы была возможность зайти в магазин Theo Wanne и выбрать - уверен, нашёл бы мундштук своей мечты 100%! Но , такое сейчас время((( Theo Wanne - Bravo!!!

After a few months of play, I'm happy with this. It plays with little resistance, it's easy to play in tune, and it adapts to a wide range of lesson material. (I'm re-beginning sax after years off, so my embouchure is starting over.) I have a #4 opening and consider it my primary, all-rounder mouthpiece. I had an issue with the brass collar slipping off. I queried TW about it and got an immediate reply. They said they're now gluing them in place and they offered to reattach the ring for me. Or, I could do it with a few drops of Goop. I did it myself and no regrets. Works flawlessly. Thanks..!

The best saxophone mouthpieces in the world. Never had a bad experience with them. I had a few alto mouthpieces and now new tenor Durga and Ambika mouthpiece. Amazing sound :)

I played on the otto link, and was looking for a better mouthpiece, because I didn’t like the otto link for its rough sound.. I studied a lot of information, and I had a choice of theo wanne or jody jazz, and of course I bought theo wanne Ambika3 7* because theo wanne took care of details that bring more comfort to the musician, I mean the silicone pad is recessed and does not cause discomfort, the ligature is always in the right position, etc., Ambika3 is my mouthpiece for everyday playing... I liked everything about it... very much warm and soft sound. It sounds great throughout the entire range of the saxophone, especially at the lower end. I've been playing Ambika3 for 2 years, and I'm increasingly convinced that the right choice was made... now I already have Brahama7* and Gaia4 7 from Theo Wanne. All of them is amazing....

Die Mundstücke von Theo Wanne öffnen mir ein Tor in die musikalische Freiheit. Ich freue mich jeden Tag.
