Infused with the spirit of Dexter Gordon, the GAIA 2 was built to outplay Theo's very best new and vintage Otto Links. He succeeded! As the foremost expert in vintage mouthpieces, Theo has taken his extensive experience to make the vintage sound even better! The GAIA 2 is updated with far more core and body to sound, while maintaining the big warm traditional sound the GAIA is known for! Robert Marting, who was Frank Zappa's saxophonist for 20 years had this to say about the GAIA 2: “Just - wow! Theo, you nailed The GAIA 2 Tenor! Everything I loved about the original GAIA is still there, along with a vast new playground of expressive possibilities to explore, thanks to the richer, more complex harmonic content in the tone. The blend between the core of the sound and the “buzz factor,” the upper partials, is beautifully balanced. It’s still round and warm, and so easy now to get just the right amount of grit and bite if you want it. The other thing I noticed right off the bat is an immediacy in the response everywhere on the horn. Every pitch seems to center and speak instantly, making fast runs sound amazingly clean and precise. Theo, how did you do that? Furthermore, if Dexter Gordon were with us today, I bet he'd be playing a Theo Wanne™ GAIA 2!" The GAIA 2 tends towards a traditional Jazz taste, but is quite versatile, as it can even get the great type of sound heard by Leon Silva on . It has a medium roll-over baffle, precision-sculpted inner sidewalls, and our True Large Chamber for a simply huge and alive vintage sound. "Having tried many types of mouthpieces over the years, Theo Wanne products embody all the great qualities; tone, projection and color. His mouthpieces are one of kind." - Dwayne Dugger (currently with Bruno Mars; recorded on the GAIA)
The GAIA 2's True Large Chamber is very much like the vintage mouthpieces of the 1940s but the design has been perfected. It is technically superior due to our industry leading machining technology. Take a look at our baffles, tip rails, side rails, and interior design. We show you pictures of these for a reason. Because they are manufactured with a accuracy higher than any other mouthpiece ever made, vintage or new! OUND
