Please note: The Shakti alto saxophone does not come with a mouthpiece. Please visit our saxophone accessories page to find your perfect mouthpiece.
When you play the Shakti alto saxophone, the first thing you notice is how free-blowing it is. This is mostly due to Theo Wanne's special reticulated interior bore design. Not only does this help to produce the full sound that the Shakti is known for, it also allows for more efficient airflow. To further help with your tone, the Shakti saxophone features Theo Wanne's special three-point super-strong bell-to-body brace. Not only does this brace look fantastic, but it also enables the bell to vibrate more than a standard brace would.
Thanks to the Shakti saxophone being made in the USA, you can be assured it's built to the highest quality. Unlike other saxophone models, the Theo Wanne Shakti alto features the signature triple strap hook. Ideal for stage performers, this triple hook lets you choose from multiple playing angles so you can find the optimal playing position. To really make a statement, the Shakti saxophone is finished in a beautiful clear lacquer.
Theo Wanne is a modern expert on new and vintage saxophone design. He became a saxophone repair technician over 20 years ago under the direction of master refacer Bob Carpenter - a pioneer of mouthpiece refacing and repairs. Theo soon gained a reputation within the saxophone world, and in 1998 opened Saxophone Mouthpiece Heaven which is his very own music store.
In 2007 Theo started to design and manufacture his own line of mouthpieces and saxophones, working with famous musicians such as Joshua Redman, Chris Potter, and Eric Alexander. Theo is constantly studying and innovating his designs to ensure his mouthpieces and saxophones enable musicians to create their best tone as easily as possible. Theo Wanne now has a reputation for crafting the best woodwind mouthpieces by using the world's most advanced manufacturing techniques.
