Theo Wanne GAIA 4 Gold Alto Sax Mouthpiece
The GAIA 4 alto is fully re-designed! It still has the classic alto sound, but much more full and alive sounding!
The result of the GAIA 4’s new design is an expressiveness, and creativity-of-play, never before experienced in a traditional sounding alto mouthpiece! Once you spend some time on it, you will find a dynamic range and flexibility not found in any other alto mouthpiece.
Large chambers have been widely explored in the history of tenor mouthpieces, but very little has been done with alto mouthpieces. The GAIA 4 Alto mouthpiece opens up a whole new world for the alto saxophone. Not only is the DESIGN revolutionary, but it uses our state-of-the-art manufacturing and premium materials so that design is made right! The GAIA 4 has evolved from the GAIA 1 with significantly more core and body to the sound.
The GAIA alto is available in premium hard rubber and in 24K gold plated brass. At first, we were hesitant to make this mouthpiece in brass, however, due to popular demand we made a few and the brass version was a huge hit!
