the ESSENTIAL series addresses this issue by by maintaining their high-level design methods, but due to the introduction of their proprietary \"Additive Mouthpiece Process\" (AMP) alongside the use of a proprietary bio-safe polymer they have been able to offer a mouthpiece range that is at last affordable for many!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003eADDITIVE MOUTHPIECE PROCESS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003eIt has been Theo’s goal to bring his mouthpieces to a greater audience for years, and finally the new AMP process allows him and his company to do this.  It stands for Additive Manufacturing Process and this is an advanced form of 3D printing, but without the traditional limitations that are associated with this method.  The usual process for producing a 3D printed mouthpiece is to build up layers, one on top of the other, and this creates a whole series of ‘steps’ within the internal geometry of the mouthpiece.  However, correct mouthpiece design would normally dictate that we should have a series of smooth curves in order to optimise airflow.  Theo has finally been able to achieve this with AMP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Proprietary Bio-safe Polymer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade In:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUSA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChamber:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium Chamber™ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBaffle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Roll-Over Shark-Gill Baffle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLigature:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Not included -

it feels like there are so many tonal possibilities within!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJim Cheek\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Theo Wanne","offers":[{"title":"5","offer_id":47080586281197,"sku":"JAZ-TA5","price":171.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7*","offer_id":47080586313965,"sku":"JAZ-TA7S","price":171.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0301\/6081\/4139\/files\/theo-wanne-essentials-collection-jazz-tenor-489861.webp?v=1731145035","url":"https:\/\/sax.co.uk\/en-ec\/products\/theo-wanne-essentials-collection-jazz-tenor-mouthpiece","provider":"SAX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
