Description
GAIA 4 Shark-Gill Baffle™
The GAIA 4 has evolved into a work of art and is now the most technically advanced mouthpiece Theo has ever made. The Shark Gill™ baffle has been updated, and Theo’s completely new Large-Stadium Chamber™ added. It takes the huge, warm and free sound the previous GAIA mouthpiece have become famous and iconic for, to a whole new level. It has greatly increased the ‘presence’ and core of the mouthpiece. The updated medium roll-over Shark Gill Baffle™ and precision-sculpted inner sidewalls add to the control and tonal possibilities along with the new Large-Stadium Chamber™. Theo Wanne’s meticulous approach to manufacturing means that the baffles, rails, and chambers are produced with a quality and accuracy higher than any other mouthpiece ever made, vintage or new!
The GAIA 4 lends itself well to a traditional Jazz taste, but due to its amazing flexibility, it is at home in any style of playing. It comes in 24K gold plated or a unique thin-body premium hard rubber which has mazing vibratory qualities.
Here are just a few of the great players who play on the GAIA: Karl Denson (Rolling Stones), Leon Silva (Arian Grande ‘Problem’), Ian Hendrickson-Smith (Ed Sheeran) Robert Martin, who was Frank Zappa’s saxophonist for 20 years.
