The Theo Wanne LAKSHMI alto saxophone mouthpiece brings together vintage straight-ahead jazz sound with modern technology for intonation and response. This mouthpiece is designed for alto players seeking the ultimate dark, full-bodied vintage jazz tone.

With handmade quality and striking esthetics, the LAKSHMI lets your alto sax soar.
Vintage Jazz Tone With Improved Intonation and Response
The LAKSHMI alto sax mouthpiece offers a big Vintage Large Chamber Sound but with incredible focus and core. Not too bright, or too dark, but the perfect balance, the LAKSHMI is the evolution of the traditional Vintage Otto Link Florida style of sound. It uses a unique and proprietary Elongated-Roll-Over-Baffle, as well as Theo's new Large-Stadium Chamber. The Large-Stadium Chamber is a technologically advanced version of a traditional large chamber, combining True-Large Chamber sections with Medium Chamber sections for a focus and core that is incredible while maintaining the full, rich sound of a Vintage-True-Large-Chamber. The "Stadium Chamber" name comes from its shape, which approximates the shape of a sports stadium.
Outstanding Projecton With a Vintage Sound
The LAKSHMI projects very well, but never sounds harsh or thin, just a big vintage sound Jazz Greats would be proud of. The LAKSHMI lends itself well to a traditional jazz taste, but is at home in any style of playing. Available in 24k gold-plated brass or Hard Rubber, it comes with a Ligature and Reed Replacer Cap.
