Theo Wanne GAIA 3 Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
New Shark Gill Baffle | Slim Line Hard Rubber
The GAIA 3 tenor sax mouthpiece was built to outplay the vintage Otto Link mouthpieces. Building on the popular GAIA design, the new Gaia 3 Tenor Sax Mouthpiece has evolved into a work of art and is now the most technically advanced mouthpiece Theo has ever made! Featuring the new Shark Gill baffle concept and merging it into the Gaia chamber merges the huge, warm and free sound of the Gaia and Gaia 2 models with an enhanced projection, flexibility and freedom of expression that is truly unique.
Shark Gill Baffle
At the heart of the GAIA 3 Tenor Sax Mouthpiece is the new Shark Gill Baffle. This design creates an effect on the air column that increases projection and response without the traditional hard resistance and brightness of other baffle designs. The design is elegant and amazing to behold and is only surpassed by it’s performance!
Combined with the sculpted sidewalls and massive large chamber, the GAIA 3 Tenor Sax Mouthpiece emulates the tone colot of the best vintage New York Links with response and power from the Florida Links and the refined performance of the most advanced mouthpiece ever made. This is truly a piece that you HAVE to try!!
Slim Line Hard Rubber
The GAIA 3 Tenor Sax Hard Rubber Mouthpiece utilizes a slim line body to decrease mass and improve ease of vibration. This gives you the softer feel and tone of the hard rubber mouthpiece but with quicker response.
