GAIA 3 Metal Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece, Gold-Plated

• Dark, Rich, Sound True Large Chamber Roll-Over, Shark-Gill Baffle Built-In Liberty Ligature for unparalleled resonance.

The GAIA 3 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 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. The GAIA 3 lends itself well to a traditional Jazz taste, but 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 mazing vibratory qualities. The GAIA 3 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!
