The LAKSHMI is the evolution of the traditional vintage alto sound!

The traditional alto sound but, yet sweet and expressive too. Not too bright, or too dark, but the perfect balance. It is the evolution of the traditional Meyer-type alto sound. But, it has our new Large-Stadium-Chamber™, so it has tons of core too.

“I have been on a journey for several years to find a mouthpiece that would cover the “full spectrum” of the music and styles I love and play. The Lakshmi has finally achieved that goal.  It’s a really amazing mouthpiece! I used to use a vintage mouthpiece that came from Dexter’s widow. The LAKSHMI is far superior! Theo is the only one qualified to carry on the legacy of the great vintage mouthpiece manufacturers.” – Glenn Zottola (Chick Corea, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Tormé, Louis Armstrong)

The DURGA 5 alto has a big, rich and contemporary sound, but due to its unique chamber it also plays amazing ballads.

The DURGA 5 does everything the DURGA 4 does, but with more core and body to the sound.   Since the DURGA Alto has become a true classic in the saxophone world, we didn’t want to change the base sound signature.   But we did want to update it with some of Theo’s new technology.   Hence, it now has a Medium-Stadium-Chamber™, and a new technology in creation of the baffle.    By continued research & development, Theo has optimized the baffle and chamber to accept airflow even better.   You will get a much fuller, yet freer blowing, mouthpiece. Soooooo much fun to play!

The DURGA has a step-baffle for power, but also deeply rounded inner side walls leading into our Medium-Stadium-Chamber™, giving it the full sound inherent in a True Large Chamber AND extra projection.  This is why it can scream and be mellow depending on your mood.
