The AMBIKA is the darkest tenor mouthpiece in our entire line-up. It is
a great classic jazz mouthpiece with a true vintage sound. While it is
very dark sounding, it still projects nicely. It has a warm, deep, and
hauntingly gorgeous tone.
We are proud to introduce BY FAR the highest quality, most resonant,
hard rubber
available today in saxophone mouthpieces. By optimizing manufacturing
techniques and recipes for hard rubber manufactured in the 1940s and 50s
by the Meyer Bros., Otto Link, and Henry Chedeville, the rich
resonant sound previously only available in vintage mouthpieces is BACK.
There has never been a better hard rubber mouthpiece made….EVER!
Even though it has our HUGE True Large Chamber and no baffle, the AMBIKA
is not stuffy or thin. The AMBIKA allows one to get the rich spread
sound of the 1940s mouthpieces, but yet still project enough to be
heard, and feel expressive. Our True Large Chambers are technically
superior and more accurate to the vintage (and other new) large chambers
due to our patent-pending machining technology.
SOUND
Built to outplay Theo's very best Vintage New York Tone Master and Master Link Otto Link. Theo succeeded!!!
The perfect Classic Jazz mouthpiece, with a deep and haunting sound best left to poetry. Hauntingly dark!
DESIGN
No baffle, yet still projects wonderfully.
Huge True Large Chamber like its 1940’s brethren, but manufactured with precision only previously dreamed of.
Revolutionary in bringing the vintage sound up to date both in design and construction.

“The AMBIKA was a total experience. Having no baffle and coming in a 6*, I was expecting it to be dull with little projection. To the contrary, it played with a tone a la the Texas Tenors of old. It had tremendous range and flexibility.” – Paul Harr (JazzTimes Magazine September 2009 Review)
