Theo Wanne DURGA V Tenor Sax Mouthpiece

The Theo Wanne DURGA V is the fifth generation of Wanne's flagship tenor mouthpiece design, and the most refined version of a piece that's become a modern classic in its own right. Players across jazz, R&B, funk, and commercial playing have built their sound around the DURGA, and the V iteration keeps that core character while pushing it further in terms of fullness, core density, and dynamic range.

The DURGA V has a fuller, richer, and more expressive sound than its predecessors, simultaneously powerful and warm, with added core and thickness. The key upgrade in this generation is the Medium-Stadium-Chamber, a proprietary chamber design that combines the openness of a true large chamber with the extra core and density of a smaller chamber, using boundary layer effect physics to improve airflow and projection — the same principle behind the dimple pattern on a golf ball. Paired with a long step baffle and deeply rounded inner side walls that run all the way to the tip, the result is a mouthpiece that can handle high-energy, high-volume playing and still support a full, controlled ballad tone without breaking up. 

Artists including Marcus Anderson (Prince), Adrian Crutchfield (Bette Midler), Tim Izo Orindgreff (Black Eyed Peas), Mark Douthit (Elton John), and Dino Soldo (Lionel Richie) have all reached for the Durga tenor — players who work in demanding live and studio settings where the mouthpiece has to perform consistently at a high level.

This is the gold-plated metal version. It includes Theo Wanne's integrated two-point contact Liberty Ligature with gold pressure plate, the patented Reed Replacer cap, user-replaceable bite pads, and a leatherette case.
