Revolutionary construction

Theo Wanne uses the most advanced manufacturing methods, five-axis machining and high levels of precision in the production process to ensure every mouthpiece is exactly the same. The Medium Stadium Chamber gives you a full sound and a free-blowing mouthpiece with added projection. This gives you the freedom to experiment with various types of musical expression depending on the style of music. The premium hard rubber material produces a classic, resonant sound and it's also highly durable.

Detailed Durga 5 design

The secret to a fantastic tone lies in the mouthpiece. The Durga 5 has a step baffle which helps to create a bright sound. The step-style design of this baffle means air moves quickly through the mouthpiece for added projection, which is great when you need to play loudly so your solos cut through the rest of the band. The baffle works well in conjunction with the large tip size, which allows you to bend notes easily and generally create a big sound.

Reviews

"Wow, is all I can say about this mouthpiece! It’s all I ever wanted in an alto mouthpiece. It’s got depth with plenty of edge and brightness! The response is immediate. I can actually use this piece for any style but particularly rock, jazz and blues. I highly recommend this mouthpiece for any professional player in these genres!" Warren Ham (Ringo Starr, Olivia Newton-John)

"The DURGA alto is the best mouthpiece I’ve ever played on alto!" Jamie Michael Harris (Michael Jackson, Mo Pleasure, Earth Wind and Fire, Bette Midler)

"The Durga is a fantastic mouthpiece. It's extremely comfortable and "easy" blowing as well as being the most powerful hard rubber piece I've ever played. It provides a huge amount of sonic range and flexibility that really helps inspire expressiveness and makes it great for many different playing situations from R and B and funk to jazz. I love playing on it." Nelson Rangell (Gil Evans, GRP All Stars)
