Theo Wanne GAIA 4 Alto Saxophone Hard Rubber Mouthpiece 7, Black 197881050320 OB

Description: The GAIA 4 alto is fully re-designed. It still has the classic Meyer style of sound, but with many visible, and hard to see innovations. The result of the GAIA 4's new design is a freedom of play never before experienced in a traditional sounding alto mouthpiece. Easy to see innovations include the proprietary Shark-Gill Baffle, which improves the airflow and opens up the sound. Harder to see is the redesigned baffle shape and chamber. Once you spend some time on it, you will find a dynamic range and flexibility not found in any other mouthpieces. Large chambers have been widely explored in the history of tenor mouthpieces, but very little has been done with alto mouthpieces.
