Theo Wanne DURGA 5 Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece 7* (Gold Plated)

The DURGA 5 tenor has a fuller, richer, and more expressive sound.It is powerful and warm sounding simultaneously with an added core and thickness to the sound. The sound is just downright sexy!

The DURGA 5 does everything the DURGA 4 did, just better. Indeed this wastheir intention, as the DURGA has become a classic in the saxophone world andthey didnt want to change the base sound signature.They just refined it by adding a fullness/core to the sound. The secret to the DURGA 5 comes from Theos latest research and development, which has centered around updating the unique DURGA baffle with a very special chamber called theMedium-Stadium-Chamber. This new chamber is completely new, and works with the physics principle of boundary layer effect much like a golf balls dimples. This allows the mouthpiece to get all the benefits of our True Large Chamber AND the extra core of a smaller chamber at the same time.

No other mouthpiece in history has been designed like this; it will blow you away since it can both scream and play a soft ballad. It is so much fun to play! Its huge sound makes everything before it sound thin and/or stuffy by comparison.

The DURGA tenor is also being used on tour withMarcus Anderson (Prince),Adrian Crutchfield (Bette Midler), Tim Izo Orindgreff (Black Eyed Peas), Mark Douthit (Elton John)and by such Superstars such asDino Soldo! The DURGA 5 has evolved from the DURGA 1, 2, 3 and 4 with more fullness and core to the sound, extending the dynamic range of your horn, and a greater sense of freedom of expression.
