Gaia 2 Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece, Hard Rubber 8
The GAIA 2 alto is designed with the classic Meyer design in mind. HOWEVER no limitations were put on the design, so it simply does everything better! It has an optimized classic baffle and includes a True Large Chamber for a breadth of sound surpassing all the Meyer clones on the market. Once you spend some time on it, you will find a dynamic range and flexibility not possible in other mouthpieces.
Large chambers have been widely explored in the history of tenor mouthpieces, but very little has been done with alto mouthpieces. The GAIA 2 Alto mouthpiece opens up a whole new world for the alto saxophone. Not only is the DESIGN revolutionary, but it uses state of the art manufacturing and premium materials so that design is made right! The GAIA 2 has evolved from the GAIA 1 with an even more core and body to the sound.

I've been using the Gaia 2 for all my recording and performing for a couple years now - it's a brilliant mouthpiece that lets me get a great sound in all sorts of settings. You can get a lot of projection from this piece, but it also has a lovely warm sound that is perfect for ballad playing. So, it's perfect for playing in a pop horn section, or a big band. Love it.
BTW the staff at the Halfiax NS store were brilliant last time I was over there on tour from the UK. Great shop and very helpful.
