Theo Wanne

Infused with the spirit of Dexter Gordon, the GAIA was built to outplay Theo's very best Florida Otto Link. Theo succeeded in spades! It is not just a simple copy of a vintage mouthpiece. Theo has taken his extensive experience working with vintage mouthpieces and made the same type of sound, just better!

The GAIA tends towards a traditional Jazz taste, but is quite versatile like the AMMA. The GAIA has a medium roll-over baffle, precision-sculpted inner sidewalls, and the True Large Chamber for a simply huge and alive vintage sound.

The GAIAs True Large Chamber is very much like the vintage mouthpieces of the 1940s but technically superior due to Theo Wanne's patent-pending machining technology. Take a look at the baffles, tip rails, side rails, and interior design. We show you pictures of these for a reason. Because they are manufactured with an accuracy higher than any other mouthpiece, vintage or new! The GAIA is truly revolutionary in bringing the vintage sound up to date both in design and construction.
