Theo Wanne Durga 3 Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece, Metal 8*

Full Description

Extraordinary Construction

Similar to all other Theo Wanne products, the Durga 3 baritone sax mouthpiece is manufactured using advanced machining techniques to ensure every mouthpiece is exactly the same. The True Large Chamber in the Durga 3 mouthpiece is larger than the bore and creates a rich and full sounding tone. Like other professional mouthpieces, the Durga 3 is crafted from professional grade brass to ensure the best quality. Once the Durga 3 has been finished, it is professionally plated with 24K gold with a reticulated finish to enhance airflow. The logo has special highlights for a truly luxurious finish.

The Durga 3 Design

The Theo Wanne Durga 3 Baritone Sax Mouthpiece is a professional mouthpiece for saxophonists that require a large sound. The tip found on the Durga 3 metal 8* mouthpiece requires more air compared to the 6 model but can produce a wider tone. This amount of resistance is essential for producing the large sound required for a rock & roll tone. The tip holds good intonation and only requires a small amount of effort to bend notes when required.

Included Accessories

The Theo Wanne Durga 3 Baritone Sax Mouthpiece includes everything you need to look after the mouthpiece. The included beautiful leatherette case will ensure that the mouthpiece is always protected when travelling. The integrated two-point contact 24K gold plated Liberty Ligature makes sure the reed is always held securely. The Durga 3 also includes a reed replacer cap and user replaceable bite pads. Every Theo Wanne mouthpiece is supplied with a unique serial number.

Reviews

"The DURGA is incredible in every way. As a studio and jazz player I need to be very subtle at times and then I need to utterly explode. The DURGA definitely fills the bill. You have created the most amazing mouthpiece that incorporates so many wonderful musical possibilities. Congratulations on another masterpiece!" Terry Harrington (Lisa Simpson’s Sax on The Simpsons for 20 years)

"The DURGA Baritone is the best mouthpiece I’ve ever played on this instrument! Powerful like a shotgun but I could easily sub-tone on some of the play-offs and quiet sections, brilliant!! Consistent throughout, never had this ease of playing altissimo on Baritone before, mid range and low end are brutal!! DAMMNN!!" Jamie Michael Harris (Michael Jackson, Mo Pleasure, Earth Wind and Fire, Bette Midler)

"The DURGA is here and……I AM SPEECHLESS. No kidding. I need a few days till I get un-daZed from it. There’s so much in it…man…I’m at an all time bliss. For the record- THE BEST METAL BARI MOUTHPIECE EVER MADE. It’s made better than you could dream of-and it plays. Nuff said." Tim Price (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
