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 24K gold plating ensures the best possible, authentic, rich sound for your saxophone.

Detailed Durga 5 design

The secret to a fantastic tone lies in the mouthpiece. The Durga 5 has a unique, long 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

"I tried the DURGA tenor 8 and am hooked. Theo has truly reached epic proportions." Jimmy Haag (Dianna Ross, Lou Rawls, Tommy Dorsey)

"When I first tried the DURGA I was simply blown away by the power and response of this beautifully crafted mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has incredible projection and presence but with the warmth and finesse that other ‘Super Power’ pieces out there lack. I would have no hesitation in saying, with its revolutionary and unique design, ease of playing in all registers including effortless harmonics and easy sub-tones make this the best tenor sax mouthpiece available today!" Mike Parlett (Talented Productions Radio Host)

"I am playing on both the tenor and baritone DURGA mouthpieces which are incredible in every way. The DURGA mouthpieces remain my favorite because of the versatility and the tremendous dynamics that are possible with them. As a studio and jazz player I need to be very subtle at times and then I need to utterly explode. The DURGA definitely fills the bill. Once again, you have created the most amazing mouthpiece that incorporates so many wonderful musical possibilities. Congratulations on another masterpiece!" Terry Harrington (Lisa Simpson’s Sax on The Simpsons for 20 years)
