Theo Wanne GAIA4 6* Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Overview
The Theo Wanne GAIA4 Gold 6* Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece is a metal tenor saxophone mouthpiece designed for a clear, large-chamber vintage sound with added core, projection, and response. The GAIA IV uses Theo Wanne’s Large-Stadium-Chamber™, updated Shark-Gill Baffle™, rounded inner side walls, and a long roll-over baffle to produce a broad, warm tenor tone without the hollowness sometimes associated with traditional large-chamber designs. This 6* model has a .095 inch tip opening and is suited to players who want a focused, expressive tenor sound for jazz, studio work, and versatile professional playing.

Who the Theo Wanne GAIA4 6* Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Is For
