Theo Wanne's "Essentials Collection" offers high-quality, affordable saxophone mouthpieces. Made with a unique synthetic resin material called A.M.P., which resembles hard rubber, and manufactured to the same standards as their top-of-the-line models, these mouthpieces provide consistent quality and excellent playing performance. ＜Contemporary Model＞ This model allows you to enjoy a powerful, sharp, and bright sound with a high baffle. Recommended for those who want a powerful sound, the Contemporary model features a step at the tip of the high baffle, a bullet shape near the chamber, and flat side walls. This allows for a full-bodied sound even in the low register. The high baffle also allows for quicker and smoother breath intake, resulting in excellent response. It's easy to control intonation and produce a crisp, attacking sound. Furthermore, the meticulous craftsmanship is identical to Theo Wanne's high-end mouthpieces. At this price point, it's so well-made that one might worry it will outsell the more expensive Theo Wanne mouthpieces. You won't feel anything plastic-like about it; it's indistinguishable from hard rubber. ■ Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece ■ ESSENTIALS Collection: Contemporary A high-baffle mouthpiece with a sharp edge. ■ Material: A.M.P. (Theo Wanne original biosafe polymer) ■ Opening: 7* (0.105") ■ Baffle: Medium-High Step Baffle ■ Chamber: Medium Chamber ■ Accessories: Mouthpiece pouch, box ■ Purchased new in August 2025, and used only 2-3 times since. A patch was used when playing. I was using it in a Big Band, but I'm now focusing on a combo band and need a darker mouthpiece. After much deliberation, I'm putting it up for sale. Thank you for looking.
