Description
The secret to the VersiTone Acoustimax’s superior response, tone and intonation is a result of Ted Klum’s unique approach to the medium chamber alto mouthpiece design. This design’s unique combination of material with a clear-core conical chamber results in a mouthpiece with extraordinary projection, power and warmth. It also features a noticeable improvement in the upper register of the alto. Our customers agree that the Ted Klum Acoustimax is the easiest alto mouthpiece to play in tune that they have ever played.
The term ‘Clear-Core’ refers to the way the VersiTone Acoustimax transitions from the chamber to the bore. Rather than the ‘squeeze’ throat found in many medium chamber mouthpieces, the Clear-Core transitions through a series of gently swept curves, carefully shaped to maximize the acoustical performance of the mouthpiece. The Conical Sidewall design preserves the acoustical integrity of the conical shape of the air column of a saxophone. The end result for the player can be heard in the mouthpiece’s performance and the projection of sound.
Advanced Manufacturing and Hand-Finishing Craftsmanship – Made in USA. VersiTone Acoustimax mouthpieces are created for exceptional strength and consistency. Once the mouthpieces arrive at the Ted Klum Production Facility, every mouthpiece is brought to the workbench to have the facing curve skillfully applied to ensure each piece is up to standard. Inlaid acrylic ink and final inspection complete the process. All manufacturing and hand finishing are done exclusively in the USA. No mouthpiece leaves to a customer until it satisfies Ted himself!
