"The AMBIKA is great to play on in classic jazz ,hard bop, modern jazz and also electro-acoustic music. I can play exactly what I hear inside of me with it!" - Doug Lawrence (Count Basie, Tony Bennett) "The AMBIKA is the only mouthpiece I'll now use! I can approximate an ol' school Coleman Hawkins/ Sam Butera sound AND a modern Michael Brecker/ Lenny Pickett sound by just adjusting my embouchure. The last thing you want to be thinking about on stage is why you can't achieve the note or sound you desire because you are fighting with your mouthpiece. Theo's mouthpieces let me create without any distractions." - Karl Hunter (Big Bad Voodoo Daddy) The AMBIKA has a HUGE True Large Chamber, no baffle, and rounded inner-side-walls.
