Theo Wanne Gaia 4 Tenor Metal / 24k Gold Plated Mouthpiece (6* / 7* / 8 / 9)

Description: Theo Wanne Gaia 4 Gold Plated Tenor Mouthpiece New with the Gaia 4 is a refined Shark-Gill Baffle, slimmer hard rubber mouthpiece profile with increased projection and flexibility. The GAIA 4 tenor mouthpiece was built to outplay any vintage or new Otto Link style mouthpiece! And WOW does it ever! The GAIA 4 has evolved into work of art and is now the most technically advanced mouthpiece Theo has ever made. Not just the Shark Gill™ baffle, but the entire design is filled with design secrets. It takes the huge, warm and free sound the GAIA 1, 2 or 3 mouthpiece have become famous and iconic for, to a whole new level. It has greatly increased projection, flexibility, and a freedom of expression that really must be experienced. Robert Martin, who was Frank Zappa’s saxophonist for 20 years had this to say about the GAIA: “Just – wow! Theo, you nailed The GAIA Tenor Mouthpiece! It has a vast playground of expressive possibilities. It’s round and warm, yet easy to get the right amount of grit and bite. It has an immediacy of response everywhere on the horn. Every pitch is centered and speaks instantly. Fast runs sound amazingly clean and precise. Theo, how did you do that? Furthermore, iIf Dexter Gordon were with us today, I bet he’d be playing a Theo Wanne™ GAIA!” – Robert Martin (Frank Zappa for 20 years) The GAIA 3 lends itself well to a traditional Jazz taste, but due to its amazing flexibility, it is at home in any style of playing. It comes in 24K gold plated or a unique thin-body premium hard rubber which has amazing vibratory qualities. The GAIA 4 has a medium roll-over Shark Gill™ baffle, precision-sculpted inner sidewalls, and our True-Large-Chamber™ which is similar to the vintage mouthpieces of the 1940s but more evolved in design. Take a close look at our baffles, rails, and True-Large-Chambers™, you will see they are manufactured with a quality and accuracy higher than any other mouthpiece ever made, vintage or new! “Having tried many types of mouthpieces over the years, Theo Wanne products embody all the great qualities; tone, projection and color. His mouthpieces are one of kind.” – Dwayne Dugger (currently with Bruno Mars; recorded Uptown Funk on the GAIA) SOUND Built to outplay Theo’s very best Vintage Florida Otto Link. Theo succeeded!!!

We also get preferred shipping from our vendors as we are a small dealer and they send us one item at a time. Most of our larger competitors order large orders and that takes longer to fulfill from the manufacturers then with us. If you have any questions, please contact us.
