Description
The DURGA 4 alto has a big, rich and contemporary sound, but due to its unique
chamber it also plays amazing ballads.
Our feedback has been that the DURGA 4
does everything the DURGA 3 did, just better. Indeed this was our
intention, as the DURGA Alto has become a true classic in the saxophone world
and we didn’t want to change the base sound signature. By continued
research & development, Theo has optimized the baffle and chamber to accept
airflow better. You will get a much fuller, yet freer blowing,
mouthpiece.
The DURGA has a step-baffle for power,
but also deeply rounded inner side walls leading into our Inverted-Power-Ring™,
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.
“Wow, is all I can say about this mouthpiece! It’s all I ever
wanted in an alto mouthpiece.” – Warren Ham (Ringo Starr, Olivia
Newton John)
Theo is truly breaking new ground with this mouthpiece as little has been done
with modern large chamber alto mouthpieces. This is partly why the DURGA
alto is such a stand out in the market. There is nothing ‘vintage’ or modern
like it. It is available in 24K gold plate, and premium hard
rubber! The DURGA 4 has evolved from the DURGA 1, 2 and 3 with far more
core and body to the sound.The DURGA 4 alto is has been used on tour with Ringo
Starr (Warren Ham) and Prince (Adrian Crutchfield) as well as by such Jazz
Superstars as Nelson Rangell!
