Theo's Mouthpiece Innovations
The AMBIKA is here! It is our darkest sounding mouthpiece. It has a deep hauntingly gorgeous tone that only poetry could describe.
The AMBIKA has no baffle at all!
It is set apart from all other mouthpieces in history because it is not stuffy or thin even though it boasts a HUGE chamber and NO baffle.
The AMBIKA's incredible fat and full sound will engulf its audience!
