Theo Wanne Shakti Alto Saxophone - Ex Demo Overview
You already know his mouthpieces. Now discover his extraordinary instruments! The Theo Wanne Shakti alto sax is a professional saxophone at a very affordable price. Inspired by the highly regarded Mantra 2, the Shakti alto saxophone is sure to leave you impressed.
Hand made in the USA, the Shakti saxophone is made to the same stringent quality as Theo Wanne's mouthpieces. Along the side of the sax, you will find Theo Wanne's unique bell-to-body brace. This three-point brace not only looks fantastic, but also enables the instrument to resonate in a way that was previously not possible.
Unlike similarly priced saxophones, the Shakti comes with premium leather pads. These pads not only create a better seal around the tone holes, but also last longer than cheaper alternatives. And to make sure your new Shakti stands out, it's finished in a clear lacquer.

Amazingly free blowing
When you play the Shakti alto saxophone, the first thing you notice is how free-blowing it is. This is mostly due to Theo Wanne's special reticulated interior bore design. Not only does this help to produce the full sound that the Shakti is known for, it also allows for more efficient airflow. To further help with your tone, the Shakti saxophone features Theo Wanne's special three-point super-strong bell-to-body brace. Not only does this brace look fantastic, but it also enables the bell to vibrate more than a standard brace would.
Attention to detail
Thanks to the Shakti saxophone being made in the USA, you can be assured it's built to the highest quality. Unlike other saxophone models, the Theo Wanne Shakti alto features the signature triple strap hook. Ideal for stage performers, this triple hook lets you choose from multiple playing angles so you can find the optimal playing position. To really make a statement, the Shakti saxophone is finished in a beautiful clear lacquer.
