Key Features
The Theo Wanne Ambika 3 Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece gives you a breath-takingly dark and full tone. This revolutionary design not only benefits from some of the best features of vintage mouthpieces - but improves on them with new features derived from decades of research and development by one of the world's foremost mouthpiece designers. This beautiful-sounding mouthpiece has the perfect timbres for playing classic jazz, whilst providing enough dynamic range for more modern music as well.
Theo's intention for the Ambika 3 was to create a mouthpiece with the full-bodied sound of the vintage 1940's pieces, but with improved projection, dynamics, and playability. By using vintage-style hard rubber and an extra-large True Large chamber-size, with rounded inner-side walls and no baffle, Theo's vision has finally been achieved. Experience the darkest soprano mouthpiece Theo Wanne has ever produced, with the Ambika 3 Soprano.
