Who the SHIVA 2 Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece Is For
The SHIVA 2 is suited to alto saxophonists seeking an assertive, projecting mouthpiece for contemporary jazz, funk, rock, commercial music, and amplified ensemble work.

Common Questions About the Theo Wanne SHIVA2
How does the SHIVA2 differ from a traditional alto saxophone mouthpiece?
The SHIVA 2 is voiced toward greater immediacy, projection, and tonal presence. It is designed for contemporary settings where articulation and sound need to remain clear within an amplified ensemble.
What does the size 7 facing mean for the player?
Size 7 is Theo Wanne's facing designation for this mouthpiece. Compared with smaller openings, a larger facing generally offers greater flexibility and tonal breadth while asking the player for more developed air support and reed control.
How does hard-rubber construction affect the mouthpiece?
Hard rubber provides the familiar feel and response many saxophonists expect from a traditional mouthpiece body. The SHIVA 2's internal design and facing remain the primary influences on its projecting contemporary sound concept.
