The ultimate powerhouse alto mouthpiece… is now even better in every way!
Totally new technology has been created for the Mindi Abair 2 alto mouthpiece, including a Swept-Step™ baffle, elliptical window, and a Small-Stadium-Chamber design. It still has the comfortable duck-bill beak, but the body is slightly bigger for a thicker sound and to fit ALL Theo Wanne alto ligatures. The result is the most screaming bad-ass alto mouthpiece ever made.
“This is the best mouthpiece I have ever played! I can honestly say it’s the powerhouse mouthpiece that I always dreamed of! It rocks!. You nailed our over-the-top-cool MINDI ABAIR 2 mouthpiece!” – Mindi Abair ( 2x Grammy Nominee, Aerosmith, American Idol)
Mindi is a 2-time Grammy nominee who’s toured with Aerosmith, been featured on American Idol, won a 2015 She Rocks Award for Mad Skills, and filled in for Clarence Clemons with Bruce Springsteen. She knows how to rock a saxophone.
Theo and Mindi worked together for ten years to finally create the Mindi Abair 2 Signature Alto Mouthpiece! They worked until Mindi could wholeheartedly say: “You nailed it!”
The ultimate powerhouse alto mouthpiece, yet able to whisper quietly when needed.

REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
“Theo and I worked on this mouthpiece for years, and somehow, amazingly, it kept getting better and better allowing me to express myself in ways I had never thought possible before. I can honestly say it’s the powerhouse mouthpiece that I always dreamed of playing! It’s even, free-blowing and so incredibly resonant in every register.” – Mindi Abair
” Wow” unreal. I absolutely love this piece. I just put my usual 21/2 Java on and played. It’s more of everything.” – Michael Ward
“This mouthpiece has so many great features. It really you whatever you need in jazz, whether it’s playing a nice blues piece to rock. You should define tally get this mouthpiece it meets your needs.” – Kyle B
“I’ve been playing the Mindi Abair mouthpiece exclusively for 6 months now, the short response is it has far exceeded my expectations, it’s immensely playable and flexible, I’ve used on acoustic jazz gigs, played lead alto, even playing along with students on classical repertoire. Tons of power, grit, intensity and so darn easy to live with! Thanks to you and Theo and the rest of the team, I’m sold on your stuff!” – Bruce Allen
“I’ve been playing since 1987, semi-pro since 1993, have bought, sold, and traded many saxes and mouthpieces! This mouthpiece, by far, is the best mouthpiece I have ever owned or played! I bought it as a backup mouthpiece, on my backup/beater Alto (1995 LA Sax Monochromatic White), but ended up putting the .087 Drake Contemporary (1st gen) in with that sax instead! The Mindi Abair Custom 8 (.086) turned out to be a perfect. pairing with my 1980 A880 Yanagisawa with 1st gen A9937 sterling silver neck 🙂 . This mouthpiece can truly whisper and roar, even with the BARI* Medium reeds I play on it. It definitely has lots of edge to it, not a mellow piece, but, very full in tone nonetheless. Similar pieces I enjoyed, either had too much resistance, or played to “dark” for my tastes.” – Izzy Armstrong
“The Mindi Abair mouthpiece is the best mouthpiece in my life, and I have been playing 25 years!” – Dejan Grujevski
“Really great sound out of it. Quite a range of dynamics compared to others.” – Gary Holland
