Most Theo Wanne mouthpieces boast a revolutionary True Large Chamber, raising the bar on saxophone mouthpieces and granting musicians a new level of sound.WHAT IS A TRUE LARGE CHAMBER?
They have significantly larger chambers than the bore. They also have significantly rounded inner side walls that extend all the way to the tip. This allows the sound wave to spread width-wise in the mouthpiece creating a robust, rich, and warm sound.
HOW DO YOU MAKE IT?
Because a True Large Chamber’s interior is significantly larger than the bore, machining tools cannot easily access the interior, let alone create complex shapes. This is why complex interior shapes have needed to be cast instead of machined...until now!
Theo Wanne's innovative process create complex interior design shapes, fully machining a huge chamber with rounded side-walls that extendi as a curve all the way up to the tip. This is a true innovation.
The result is sheer beauty, an incredible sound, and the ability to Unleash Your Soul!
