Theo Wanne Water Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece - Versatile Traditional sound - Great for All Styles - Small-Chamber & Throat – special Black A.R.T Material

This is an amazing mouthpiece that provided me with the sound I've been searching for. Theo Wanne is good for classical and jazz! Don't let the 3 fool you, it is as expressive as any 6+. Only gripe: mouthpiece cover is only for storage and you'll need to improvise something to cover the mouthpiece when you set your sax down.

I purchased the Theo Wanne Water Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece for my teenage son, and he’s thrilled with it. It delivers a versatile, traditional sound that meets his needs perfectly. Seeing him happy with the quality makes me very happy too.

For the price, it’s awesome. It plays well, it blows easily, and has a nice range of play. It’s intended for a more classical sound, according to Theo Wanne, but it’s well suited to my mix of musical exercises, hymns, and band music. Two things worth noting: 1) There are better performing mouthpieces, but not at this price (at least, not when purchased new). It’s a good, solid player — but to really make sense of it, consider the price and the outstanding support of the maker. 2) You have to get used to the material. It doesn’t feel like either hard rubber or acrylic. It has a different feel altogether that took a little time for me to get comfortable with. Bottom line: a good performer and a great value.

it's a decent working mouthpiece and will increase your volume for sure. I still think a metal one would give a more solid tone over this material, but it gets the job done.

I've been playing saxophone more than 30 years and have a bunch of mouthpieces mostly 5 and 6 openings that I use with 2 1/2 to three reeds. I thought I would try this one out and I was totally surprised on how good this mouthpiece is for 100 bucks. I have had others listen to this against my other mouthpieces and this one was hands down the most mellow sounding and rounded. If you are playing just for yourself or in a small combo where you don't need projection and volume, this is perfect because it really sounds good, reminiscent of Paul Desmond. If you have a choice and need something for a student or beginner this would be a perfect mouthpiece, easy to play because it doesn't need much air volume so it is a light year better than the Yamahas or Selmers. Pair it with a 2 or 2 1/2 reed and enjoy.

This mouthpiece sounded slightly better than my old Yamaha 4C. The ligature it comes with doesn’t hold the reed too tightly. Adjusting the mouthpiece moves the reed which is frustrating. The mouthpiece I received was used: box was torn, drawstring bag knot was undone, and the mouthpiece had discoloration on the rails. I ended up returning it.

The mouthpiece met my expectation. Easy blowing. Great sound at a much affordable price. Highly recommended. Fast delivery.

While this mouthpiece plays fairly well, I'm surprised that it carries the Theo Wanne name. Sure, it's still a powerful piece, huge sound, solid core and very free-blowing for a classical piece, like you would expect from a Wanne piece. The ligature I received was warped out of shape, probably since it was screwed on so tight by whoever assembled it. I had a different one that fit, but the one it came with is practically useless. And it seems unlikely these are hand finished at all, mine has a wicked sharp bit of flashing along the beak, a simple fix on my end, but I'm very disappointed I have to do that at all. The idea of a student getting one of these as a great, affordable step up piece comes to mind with this sure if thing. Still need to fully test if the table is good and rails are balanced. A final surprise and slight concern: you can see the fibers of the ART material wanting to come up off the reed side, I can't help but wonder if there will be splinters as it ages. Will update the router as I get more time with it.

Der Sound finde ich nicht gut. Und der ist richtig dünn, viel schmaler als „normale“ Mundstücke fürs Altsaxophon. Sehr schade hatte mich gefreut. Geht zurück.

Las boquillas Theo Wanne son magníficas, me encanta el sonido tanto para clásico como para jazz, obscuro. Si buscas una buena boquilla está es la opción, aunque parece ser para principiantes también le puedes sacar mucho provecho a nivel profesional, cuando ya dominas la embocadura.
