Theo Wanne Essentials Jazz Soprano Sax Mouthpiece
Affordable Precision
In the past, low-cost mouthpieces were low quality, and high-quality mouthpieces were expensive. However, the Theo Wanne™ ESSENTIALS COLLECTION brings you incredible quality and low cost, at the same time! The Essentials Jazz Soprano Sax Mouthpiece is the quintessential mouthpiece for all genres of jazz and big band music. Not too bright, not too dark and with just the right amount of projection.
Featuring Roll-Over Baffle and a Small Chamber, the Essentials Jazz Soprano is available in 1 tip opening:
-
- Size 7: 0.081″ (2.06mm)
Roll-Over Baffle
A Roll-Over Baffle has a short high section right behind the tip rail, which rolls over into a Flat Baffle which extends to the chamber. This adds more overtones because the air stream goes at many different rates of speed. This is heard as extra edge and growl in the sound. This is the classic sound of Florida Otto Links, New York Meyers of the 1950’s and the old Brass Dukoff mouthpieces from the 1940s. You can hear this in the recordings of Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, Zoot Sims, Cannonball Adderley, etc.
