SummaryTestimonialsCatalogueThe AMMA is a medium bright tenor saxophone mouthpiece that captures a uniquely warm and robust sound ranging from low Bb into the altissimo, while maintaining ample projection. Our TRUE Large Chamber (much like the vintage mouthpieces of the 1940s but technically superior) ensures a warm, fat, robust sound. The chamber is formed from a specific conical extension starting at the very tip of the mouthpiece and reaching to the back of the chamber, all machined to extremely high tolerances. Four innovative Design Patents and one Manufacturing Process Patent stand behind the AMMA’s grace and style. It is available in both gold and silver plate, with a variety of options for your ligature and its pressure plate.SOUND•Suitable for almost any style of music, but designed for Jazz.•It has some edge, good projection, and maintains the vintage True Large Chamber sound.

There is no need to look for vintage mouthpieces anymore. It’s right in the tradition, and made with unrivaled expertise and craftsmanship. I believe the AMMA sets a new standard in saxophone mouthpieces. Your mastery with saxophone mouthpieces has allowed me to fully express my own artistry as a musician!” – Jeff Rupert “Theo Wanne has done it again!!!!!! I have been playing one of his soprano pieces for years and after playing his new AMMA #9 tenor mouthpiece, I feel he has brought a new dimension in mouthpieces to us that will not only stand the test of time but will be a benchmark mouthpiece for many, many years to come! Tell the tenor players, the bar has been raised.” –Jeff Coffin “Theo, you keep making choosing a mouthpiece difficult for me! I´ve been playing and thoroughly enjoying the AMMA for about half a year. Now the KALI, another superb player, is also coming with me on future concerts! They both sound and feel great and are potential first choices. This seems to be what one may call a luxury problem: If you´re a coach, and you happen to have the two best quarter backs in the league in your team, it´s difficult to chose who´ll play, but you know you´ll win either way...Congratulations!! -Jan Garbarek “The AMMA is truly wonderful. I would go as far as to say that it is magical but I know that it is the product of a lot of hard work from a very gifted craftsman. It is a work of art!! Very inspirational! It makes me want to be a better player. Silly isn't it?? The AMMA feels really comfortable... it just feels like home. It’s extremely flexible in terms of pitch (inflections) and color of sound. It is so flexible I can get almost anything I want just by changing reed brands, reed strengths and placement of the Liberty Ligature. I can play soft and loud without any problem with intonation or articulation; It just has great response. People are commenting on my sound as well as how cool it looks during my gigs. Theo, I can honestly say that your mouthpieces are the best I've ever played!” -Anibal Rojas “I wanted to tell you that the AMMA is great (though I expected nothing less honestly)! Congratulations! Totally singing from top to bottom, lots of power…the works.” -Chris Potter “The AMMA is a truly wonderful mouthpiece. I like it more and more each day. I could easily use it in any professional situation and my Link blows dead after trying yours for a while. After playing the Stable-Wood PARVATI 8 I am now thoroughly inspired by your products. You have confused the heck out of me - I don't know which one I like better? They're all great! Playing only vintage mouthpieces (mainly a Florida Super Tone Master Otto Link 8*) I would never have considered playing a new mouthpiece, until NOW! As a professional saxophonist, and mouthpiece refacer - my hat goes off to you and your products, Theo. Top notch on every level!!! A brand new, stock out-of-the-box mouthpiece that measures 100% accurately, and plays flawlessly. I didn't think I'd see the day... You're a renaissance man!” -Adam Niewood “What can I say! Flexibility and power. Expressive barriers removed. You wonder if a mouthpiece could be worth this much money. Then you play the AMMA and all is forgiven. Great job!” -Matt “Theo you are unbelievable. I played the AMMA at 10:30 at night. My neighbors asked me, “What is that sound coming from your house! It sounds awesome!” I have been told I have a good ear for sound, and this is an incredible sounding mouthpiece. I had an Otto Link before, and it doesn't even come close! Man! God has blessed you with an incredible gift. I can't say enough about this mouthpiece. It purrs like a kitten, and screams like a wild cat. It will do anything I want it to do just by adjusting my embouchure. Again man, you out did yourself on this one. I can't say enough about it. I don't want to put it away. Great Job Theo!” -Leon “The AMMA is absolutely the mouthpiece for me! I get so many different sounds from it, like a painter who suddenly has more colors to use. The way it looks is off the charts; It' beautiful!” -Thomas “You have made my life as a saxophone player better with the AMMA. It surpasses any other mouthpiece i've ever played - on every level. Iit's almost like magic the way it responds exactly as I want, on every dynamic level. It does exactly what a mouthpiece should - boost confidence. The flexibility makes it my mouthpiece of choice regardless of the musical situation. I wanted to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude.” -Bbørge “My AMMA is absolutely amazing. I'm going to sell all my other mouthpieces. I'm so happy that I want to buy another one. I can never thank you enough Theo. I play my AMMA everyday (and sometimes at night). I don't believe the sound I hear, I'm another saxophonist now” -Olivier “I've been playing the AMMA for the last couple of weeks and am really enjoying them - the mouthpiece seems to have a very dark lush tone and feels very expressive. It seems to release the music in the horn. I've used the AMMA for some big band gigs and the response from other musicians has been very encouraging. So thanks for the work you've put into the mouthpiece.” -Barry “The AMMA mouthpiece plays very easily from PPP to FFF with the vintage sound of old links. This is amazing!” -Minoru “The AMMA you made for me, truly, is remarkable. It allows me the freedom to blow any sound I can conjure-up in my mind. It is magical, and a joy to play. All love surrounds you. Thanks Theo!” -Ed “The AMMA plays GREAT!!!!!!!!! The AMMA is flexible in the different tones it has to offer and is very responsive. It has a very FAT low end!!! Tell everyone that the mouthpiece just gets better & better & better & better & better!” -Phil “Gentlemen, let my actions speak louder than words. Can I order another? You really delivered everything you say on the website. I love your mouthpiece, and the way you do business!” -MarkRelated products: 1. Theo Wanne Pressure Plates (set of 4)
