Essentials Jazz Tenor Sax Mouthpiece Theo Wanne

The classic vintage jazz tenor sound has a quality that's easy to recognise and hard to describe — not too dark, not too bright, just balanced and alive in a way that sits naturally in any jazz context. The Jazz Tenor was built to capture that. It plays evenly from the bottom of the horn to the top, responds cleanly in every register, and has the kind of tonal character that works in a small group, a big band, or anywhere in between.

The rollover shark gill baffle and medium/large chamber are what produce that balance. The chamber gives the sound its warmth and body. The rollover baffle adds just enough presence and definition to keep the tone forward and musical without pushing it into brightness. The shark gill design improves airflow through the mouthpiece, contributing to the even, responsive feel across the full range.

If you're playing tenor in a jazz setting and want one mouthpiece that covers the full scope of the work without compromise, this is the model to reach for.

Two tip openings suit different players. Size 5 (0.080" / 2.03mm) for more resistance and control. Size 7 (0.105" / 2.67mm) for more room and a bigger, freer sound.

No ligature included.
