The GAIA tenor sax mouthpiece has a traditional full sound similar to a vintage Otto Link tenor mouthpiece. It is designed for a traditional full and rich sound with very good projection. Also, due to its True Large Chamber, it has an even bigger, fuller sound than the vintage mouthpieces. It is incredibly rich sounding and is both fun and inspirational to play. In 2016, Theo transitioned the GAIA line to the new 2nd Generation models, the GAIA-2. The new models feature a slight revision to the baffle design to improve response while maintaining the rich tone that the GAIA Tenor Sax Mouthpiece is known for. The GAIA tenor sax mouthpiece tends towards a traditional Jazz taste, but is quite versatile. The GAIA tenor sax mouthpiece has a medium roll-over baffle, precision-sculpted inner sidewalls, and our True Large Chamber for a simply huge and alive vintage sound. This item has been used as a demo model only; it is in excellent condition.
