Common Questions About The Theo Wanne AMBIKA3 HR 8

Is the Theo Wanne AMBIKA3 HR designed to be dark or bright?

The AMBIKA3 HR is designed to be Theo Wanne’s darkest tenor mouthpiece, using a true large chamber and patented shark gill baffle to emphasize depth, warmth, and a broad core sound.

What is a Shark Gill Baffle?

The indented lines you see on the baffle is the patented Shark Gill Baffle.  It works on the physics principle of 'boundary layer effect', similar to the dimples on a golf ball. In a mouthpiece, the airstream is pulled closer to the floor and side walls. This allows one to 'fill' the mouthpiece more with air, resulting in increased dynamics.

What does “new old stock” mean for this mouthpiece?

New old stock means it is unused inventory that has never been privately owned. This example is in pristine condition and has been inspected by our shop.
