This mouthpiece has never been played so it is truly mint! I am a guitar player who has been getting back into playing tenor saxophone and I bought this Ambika and a 10mfan Celebration hard rubber, and the rubber one is easy to play and sounds great with my vintage King horn. This Theo Wanne Ambika 3 has been sitting untouched for a year, so it needs a new home, and I am looking for some new guitar pedals (never ending story:) There is a video that demonstrates the sound much better than I could, and if you are checking out this listing, then you are aware of Theo Wanne’s quality and reputation for excellence. The Ambika model is the dark sounding, very vintage vibes, mouthpiece. This mouthpiece was new old stock when I bought it a year ago so you will not be disappointed by it’s perfect condition. Check out the demo videos online to hear how it sounds!
