Professional Endorsers of the AMMA
Jan Garbarek:
"Thanks, 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!!"

Jeff Coffin: (2x Grammy Award Winner)
"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."

Tim Price:
"The KALI is the most extraordinary metal mouthpiece I have ever played. The KALI creates a grace and freedom that is just perfect. The pitch is super even on varied horns and it does NOT exasperate your chops at all like other metals.
The PARVATI is deep, full, and huge. It's got a vibe I'm loving. Man is it strong. Killin'...no question.
Theo has created new metal mouthpieces that are totally profound! The originality of these new pieces, such as the KALI and PARVATI, shows Theo's culminating work in his distinguished career. BOTH are beyond my dreams. He truly is one of today's innovators! I urge you to check out these savvy new mouthpieces by Theo, and be ready to embark on a prolific and creative journey.”-

Jeff Rupert:
"Theo, your AMMA mouthpiece is just the mouthpiece sax players have been waiting for. 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!"

Doug Moffet:
"...Theo's Amma mouthpiece is the only mouthpiece I've every played that has equal ease of response between the altissimo G, G#, and A. Yet, equally still, be able to have such a beautiful, full, and warm response on the low Bb. Even more surprising, is that playing loud or soft, the response is the same. There is also a lot of room in the overtones of the mouthpiece, which enables you to manipulate your own personality into the sound. It is such a joy to have these difficult areas of the horn open up to a new and more comfortable level..."

Stefano Bedetti:
"Theo, man, you are absolutely a GENIUS!! You know? I'm playing the AMMA (Gold, opening 10, number 2A16/25) and I call it 'my happiness'...the AMMA is the best mouthpiece I have ever played in my life. I consider it the best mouthpiece made in the world!"

Kendall S. Thomsen:
"“As a recording engineer I always take the time to ensure I am capturing the best sound I can from an artist. Your AMMA mouthpiece shines in the studio. Jeff Rupert and I had the opportunity to sample a variety of mouthpiece and horn combinations and the best combination included your AMMA mouthpiece. Thanks for a great product as it makes my job much easier, the quality of sound is consistent through the full range of the instrument.”

Anibal Rojas:
"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!"
