Current retail description via WWBW.com:
"Versatile design lets you scream and play soft ballads with this unique mouthpiece.
The DURGA tenor has a bigger, richer, contemporary sound. It is powerful and warm-sounding, simultaneously, so it can scream and play amazing ballads. No longer does the saxophonist need to have a thin sound in order to get huge power and projection.
The DURGA 4 does everything the DURGA 3 did, just better. The secret to the DURGA 4 comes from Theo's latest research and development, coming up with a newly designed baffle coupled with conical inner side walls and a special version of their True Large Chamber incorporating an Inverted Power Ring. The Inverted Power Ring is set at the back of the chamber 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 the True Large Chamber, plus the extra power needed for contemporary playing.
No other mouthpiece in history has been designed like this; it will blow you away since it can both scream and play a soft ballad. It is so much fun to play. Its huge sound makes everything before it sound thin and/or stuffy by comparison.
"Playing the DURGA was like meeting a woman and saying, when I first kissed her I knew that was it! She is the one!" - Sir Waldo Weathers (James Brown for 15 Years)
The DURGA tenor is also being used on tour with Marcus Anderson (Prince), Adrian Crutchfield (Bette Midler), Tim Izo Orindgreff (Black Eyed Peas), Mark Douthit (Elton John) and by such Superstars such as Dino Saldo. The DURGA 4 has evolved from the DURGA 1, 2 and 3 with more fullness and core to the sound, extending the dynamic range of your horn, and a greater sense of 'freedom of expression'.
