Description

In a recent bout of improvements Theo has introduced the GAIA 4 into the mix.  This new model sounds even fuller and more 'alive' than the previous model!

From the manufacturer:

The result of the GAIA 4’s new design is an expressiveness, and creativity-of-play, never before experienced in a traditional sounding alto mouthpiece!  It includes and updated version of our proprietary Shark-Gill Baffle™, and our newly designed Large-Stadium Chamber™, which is a technologically advanced version of a traditional large chamber.   Once you spend some time on it, you will find a dynamic range and flexibility not found in any other alto mouthpiece.

“The GAIA alto is the answer to a saxophonist’s dream! Over my sixty years of performing in either recording studios, or performing live concerts, I can finally do it all with one mouthpiece instead of carrying several pieces around. The only mouthpiece I’ve played in seven decades with EVERYTHING! Without any question, it’s a ‘sonic miracle!'” – George Young (John Lennon, Rolling Stones, Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Sinatra, Madonna)

Large chambers have been widely explored in the history of tenor mouthpieces, but very little has been done with alto mouthpieces. The GAIA 4 Alto mouthpiece opens up a whole new world for the alto saxophone. Not only is the DESIGN revolutionary, but it uses our state-of-the-art manufacturing and premium materials so that design is made right! The GAIA 4 has evolved from the GAIA 1 with an even more core and body to the sound.
