Essentials Contemporary Tenor Sax Mouthpiece Theo Wanne

When the music is loud and the band is pushing hard, you need a tenor mouthpiece that cuts through without you having to force it. The Contemporary Tenor was designed for exactly that — rock, pop, smooth jazz, Latin jazz, funk, and any modern setting where projection and presence are the priority.

The high baffle and medium chamber give the tone its character: bright and focused at the front, with enough body behind it to stay full rather than going thin under pressure. It projects naturally and responds quickly off the tongue, which matters in the kind of high-energy playing this mouthpiece is built for.

If you've been fighting to be heard over a loud band or digging harder than you should to get the sound to carry, the Contemporary Tenor solves that problem without asking you to change how you play.

Two tip openings suit different players and embouchures. Size 5 (0.080" / 2.03mm) for more resistance and a tighter, more controlled feel. Size 7 (0.105" / 2.67mm) for more room to move and a bigger, more open sound.

No ligature included.
