Ultimate power! The Theo Wanne Mindi Abair mouthpiece is guaranteed to blow your socks off - literally! Mindi worked with Theo for over two years, carefully tweaking every parameter of the mouthpiece until she was happy. The result? A mouthpiece that radiates raw emotional power.
The Theo Wanne Mindi Abair alto sax mouthpiece will unleash your inner rockstar. By utilising a swept-step baffle, flat-side-wall chamber, and a unique duck-bill beak, the Mindi Abair mouthpiece produces a bright and compact tone which projects like a laser beam.
A mouthpiece that that sounds this good deserves to look the part. This is why the Mindi Abair mouthpiece is finished in a gorgeous reticulated white bronze finish. On the back of the mouthpiece, you'll even find Mindi's engraved signature.

Similar to all other Theo Wanne products, the Mindi Abair alto sax mouthpiece is manufactured using the most advanced machining techniques. This ensures every mouthpiece is exactly the same. To achieve the raw tone that the Mindi Abair mouthpiece is known for, Theo designed a small proprietary chamber which is actually smaller than the bore. This produces a very powerful and narrow sound - perfect for rock 'n' roll!
Just like all of Theo Wanne's metal mouthpieces, the Mindi Abair mouthpiece is crafted from professional grade brass. But then Theo does something wonderful to it... To achieve that scintillating aesthetic, the mouthpiece is finished with reticulated white bronze. Not only does this look fantastic, but it also enhances the airflow through the mouthpiece. As a personal touch, Mindi's signature is engraved in dark grey for a truly luxurious finish.
You don't get a mouthpiece with this much power without some essential tweaks. The stepped baffle found on the Mindi Abair metal mouthpiece produces a razor-sharp tone while also providing a good amount of resistance. Similarly to placing your thumb over a hosepipe to increase the pressure, this baffle has a smaller opening making the air travel faster. This is essential for producing the huge sound that Mindi requires!
The Theo Wanne Mindi Abair alto saxophone mouthpiece includes everything you need to care for your mouthpiece. The included beautiful leatherette case will ensure that the mouthpiece is always protected when travelling. The integrated two-point contact Liberty Ligature makes sure the reed is always held securely with the included Alive Gold pressure plate. The Mindi Abair mouthpiece also includes a reed replacer cap and user replaceable bite pads.
