Theo Wanne GAIA 4 Soprano

Theo Wanne GAIA 4 Soprano

The GAIA 4 soprano mouthpiece has a major upgrade!

 

The GAIA soprano series has been VERY popular, providing modern projection, along with the vintage large chamber sound.   The GAIA 4 updates this concept MUCH farther, with a completely new Large-Stadium Chamber™ and updated Shark Gill Baffle™ design.   It now has significantly more presence, similar to mouthpieces such as the Selmer Soloist, but with the full bodies beauty the GAIA has become famous for.   This is a major upgrade!

 

With the addition of the AMBIKA soprano mouthpiece, which truly captures the warm large chamber soprano sound, the GAIA 4 moves further into the full bodied core sound, which we hope you love as much as we do.

 

And there it is! The soprano piece Ive been longing for all these years! It sings in all registers, pp – ff, in tune, open yet focused, and fat sounding like a sax should be. The GAIA soprano is stunning, and suits me perfectly!” 

– Jan Garbarek (Keith Jarrett, George Russell, Grammy Nominee, 31 Internationally Acclaimed Albums)

 

For decades musicians asked Theo for the perfect large chamber soprano mouthpiece.   He modified vintage Buescher and Slant Otto Link (among other) vintage mouthpieces.  Each of these had wonderful characteristics, but none were the ‘whole package.’ So Theo designed the GAIA series of soprano mouthpieces.  The feedback has been overwhelming relief from many players who finally found the mouthpiece giving them the sound they always desired, but didn’t even know it because nothing like has existed before!

 

It’s the mouthpiece I’ve been looking for since I started playing the soprano saxophone. It’s absolutely incredible!!! Thank you soooo much!

– Professor Matthias Anton
