Extraordinary Construction
Similar to all other Theo Wanne products, the Slant Signature 2 tenor sax mouthpiece is manufactured using advanced machining techniques to ensure every mouthpiece is exactly the same. The large chamber in the Slant Signature 2 mouthpiece is larger than the bore and creates a rich and full sounding tone. Like other professional mouthpieces, the Slant Signature 2 is crafted from pure latex hard rubber to ensure the best quality. Hard rubber is prefered by musicians who want a more mellow tone compared to the bright tone produced by a metal mouthpiece.
The Slant Signature 2 Design
The Theo Wanne Slant Signature 2 Tenor Sax Mouthpiece is a professional mouthpiece for saxophonists that require a traditional sound. The tip found on the Slant Signature 2 hard rubber 8 mouthpiece requires more air compared to the 7* model but can produce a wider tone. This amount of resistance is essential for producing the large sound required for a vintage tone. The tip holds good intonation and only requires a small amount of effort to bend notes when required.
Included Accessories
The Theo Wanne Slant Signature 2 Tenor Sax Mouthpiece includes everything you need to look after the mouthpiece. The included drawstring microfibre pouch will ensure that the mouthpiece is always protected when travelling. The mouthpiece comes in a vintage style dark grey metallic silver box for extra security.

Reviews
"If I had to pick one mouthpiece, it would be the Slant Sig, hands down. I would have no hesitation relying on it in any situation. With the Slant Sig, you took a tried and true classic design and gave it just the right modern touch to make it more flexible and adaptable than the original. An Otto Link is great for jazz, but the Slant Sig offers much more. It’s every bit as good as a Link for jazz in my opinion, if not better, and has so many other colors you can pull out of it for other styles. The Slant Sig is state of the art. What amazes me about it is that you can just blow into it without any particular preconceived sound in mind and what comes out will sound great, and then you can go for something much more specific, and find that too. The Slant Sig is the crown jewel for me, the “desert island” mouthpiece." Robert Martin (Frank Zappa for 20 years)
"The Theo Wanne Slant is amazing, it is exactly what I was looking for. Not only is this mouthpiece great for jazz standards but it has a more midden sound when pushed playing other music such as funk, R&B and other contemporary style of music. Nice work Theo. This one is truly amazing especially at the price!" Eddie Baccus Jr. (Pieces of a Dream)
"The SLANT SIG is amazing! And it is so very sweet and Dexterish! Yesssss:)" Reggie Padilla (Glenn Miller Orchestra)
