Stadium-Chamber

The DURGA 5 does everything the DURGA 4 did, just better. Indeed this was their intention at Theo Wanne, as the DURGA has become a classic in the saxophone world and they didn’t want to change the base sound signature. They just refined it by adding a fullness/core to the sound. The secret to the DURGA 5 comes from Theo’s latest research and development, which has centered around updating the unique DURGA baffle with a very special chamber called the Medium-Stadium-Chamber ™. This new chamber is completely new, and works with the physics principle of ‘boundary layer effect’ much like a golf ball’s dimples. This allows the mouthpiece to get all the benefits of our True Large Chamber and the extra core of a smaller chamber at the same time.
