It has more power than a vintage Meyer style mouthpiece, yet is not ‘bright’ like a high baffle mouthpiece. The Rolling Stones (Karl Denson) is currently touring with the MANTRA alto mouthpiece.
“You can lay back and get almost a classical sound as well as push the issue and fill the room with clear centered sound and not be freakishly harsh or unpleasant. Imagine an all around mouthpiece that truly lives up to the players needs. Theo’s really onto something here. Do yourself a favor and try it for yourself.” – Jimmy Haag (Diana Ross, Lou Rawls, Tommy Dorsey)
“I have hundreds of mouthpieces but haven’t had the urge to change since I’ve played these Mantras!” – Sam Phipps (Oingo Boingo)
The MANTRA combines both a shallow-step and roll-over baffle, and adds the Theo Wanne proprietary small “shark-gill” chamber. This is not a True Large Chamber like many other Theo Wanne™ designs, but a very unique small chamber evolved from Theo’s study of boundary layer effect and boat hull design. These features give the MANTRA enough projection and depth to be suitable for both Rock n’ Roll, and more traditional ballad playing as well.
Like all Theo Wanne™ products the MANTRA is made using Theo’s state-of-the-art design and manufacturing technologies. You will receive the most consistent and highest quality mouthpiece available in history.
