Theo Wanne Lakshmi Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
The LAKSHMI is the evolution of the traditional vintage alto sound!
The LAKSHMI alto offers a traditional alto sound that is both sweet and expressive, achieving the perfect balance without being too bright or too dark. It is an evolution of the classic Meyer-type alto sound, enhanced by our innovative Large-Stadium-Chamber™ for added depth and core.
“I have been on a journey for several years to find a 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)
It uses a unique and proprietary Elongated-Roll-Over-Baffle™, as well as Theo’s new Large-Stadium Chamber™. The LAKSHMI Alto lends itself well to straight-ahead Jazz, but is equally at home in big bands or 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
Take a close look at our baffles, rails, and chambers, you will see they are manufactured with a quality and accuracy higher than any other mouthpiece ever made, vintage or new!
