The MANTRA alto mouthpiece has a thick, full and clear sound versatile enough for all types of playing. It has more power than a vintage Meyer style mouthpiece, yet is not ‘bright’ like a high baffle mouthpiece. The Rolling Stones (Karl Denson) is currently touring with the MANTRA alto mouthpiece.
“You can lay back and get almost a classical sound as well as push the issue and fill the room with clear centered sound." Jimmy Haag (Diana Ross, Lou Rawls, Tommy Dorsey)
The MANTRA combines both a shallow-step and roll-over baffle, and adds the Theo Wanne proprietary small “shark-gill” chamber. This is not a True Large Chamber like many other Theo Wanne™ designs, but a very unique small chamber evolved from Theo’s study of boundary layer effect and boat hull design. These features give the MANTRA enough projection and depth to be suitable for both Rock n’ Roll, and more traditional ballad playing as well.
