Theo Wanne GAIA 4 Tenor Saxophone Hard Rubber Mouthpiece
The GAIA 4 tenor does everything previous GAIA tenor mouthpieces did, but with an incredible CORE to the sound!
The GAIA is played by Karl Denson touring with the Rolling Stones, by Leon Silva on Ariana Grandeās song āProblemā and Ian Hendrickson-Smith with Ed Sheeran. Robert Martin, who was Frank Zappaās saxophonist for 20 years had this to say about the GAIA:
āJust ā wow! Theo, you nailed The GAIA Tenor Mouthpiece! It has a vast playground of expressive possibilities. Itās round and warm, yet easy to get the right amount of grit andĀ bite.Ā It has an immediacy of response everywhere on the horn. Every pitch is centered and speaks instantly.Ā Fast runs sound amazingly clean and precise. Theo, how did you do that? Ā Ā Furthermore, if Dexter Gordon were with usĀ today, I bet heād be playing a Theo Wanneā¢ GAIA!āĀ ā Robert Martin (Frank Zappa for 20 years)
The GAIA 4 lends itself well to a traditional Jazz taste, but due to its amazing flexibility, it is at home in any style of playing.Ā Ā It comes in 24K gold plated or a unique thin-body premium hard rubber which has mazing vibratory qualities.
The GAIA 4 has an updated medium roll-overĀ Shark Gill Baffleā¢, precision-sculpted inner sidewalls, and our newly createdĀ Large-Stadium Chamberā¢, which is a technologically advanced version of a traditional large chamber.
