The Evolution of the Traditional Vintage Alto Sound – The Theo Wanne Lakshmi Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece – Size 5, Hard Rubber
The traditional alto sound but, yet sweet and expressive too. Not too bright, or too dark, but the perfect balance. It is the evolution of the traditional Meyer-type alto sound. But, it has Theo’s new Large-Stadium-Chamber, so it has tons of core too.
It uses a unique and proprietary Elongated-Roll-Over-Baffle, as well as Theos new Large-Stadium Chamber. The Large-Stadium-Chamber is a technologically advanced version of a traditional large chamber, combining True-Large Chamber sections with Medium Chamber sections for a focus and core that is incredible while maintaining the full, rich sound of a Vintage True-Large-Chamber. The Stadium-Chamber name comes from its shape, which approximates the shape of a sports stadium. The LAKSHMI projects very well, but never sounds harsh or thin, just a big, dark and sweet sound.
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. This mouthpiece comes in premium, vintage-style Hard Rubber.
Take a close look at Theo’s 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!
