Theo Wanne Lakshmi Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
The LAKSHMI is the evolution of the traditional vintage tenor sound!
A BIG Vintage Large Chamber Sound but with incredible Focus and Core. Not too bright, or too dark. The perfect balance. It is the evolution of the traditional Vintage Otto Link Florida Dukoff Hollywood style of sound.
“I have been on a journey for several years to find a tenor mouthpiece that would cover the “full spectrum” of the music and styles I love and play. The Lakshmi has finally achieved that goal. It’s a really amazing mouthpiece! I used to use a vintage mouthpiece that came from Dexter’s widow. The LAKSHMI is far superior! Theo is the only one qualified to carry on the legacy of the great vintage mouthpiece manufacturers.” – Glenn Zottola (Chick Corea, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Tormé, Louis Armstrong)
"The LAKSHMI is my number 1 favorite mouthpiece! It is a liberating mouthpiece to play! It is like an old soul but with modern sensibilities. The intonation is laser beam accurate, the response is incredibly fast and the range of sound is nothing short of astounding. It has that indescribable magic and mojo… whatever you want to call it. Soul. Thanks, Theo!!!" – Ian Hendrickson Smith (Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Lady Gaga, Bob Dylan, U2, Amy Winehouse, and Ed Sheeran)
The LAKSHMI Tenor lends itself well to a traditional Jazz taste but is at home in any style of playing, as it has very good projection. It comes in two materials, 24k Reticulated gold and premium vintage-style Hard Rubber
