You already know his mouthpieces. Now discover his extraordinary instruments! The Theo Wanne Mantra soprano sax is one of the finest saxophones around - in tone and appearance. There's a reason why saxophone superstar Courtney Pine plays on a Mantra soprano saxophone...
Unlike similarly priced saxophones, the Mantra comes with premium kangaroo leather pads. These pads are the best of the best in the saxophone world, and offer the best build quality with the best abrasion and tear resistance.
Handmade in the USA, the Mantra saxophone is made to the same stringent quality as Theo Wanne's mouthpieces. The body of the Mantra is made from brass with a 'boundary-layer' effect - similar to a shark's skin which allows it to glide better through water. And to make sure your new Mantra stands out, it's finished with a Vintified body with gorgeous engraving. It doesn't get much better than this.

Thanks to the Mantra saxophone being made in the USA, you can be assured it's built to the highest quality. Unlike other saxophone models, the Mantra soprano features Theo Wanne's 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. This hook is also excellent for musicians who swap instruments while on stage. If you're playing the Mantra and need to swap a tenor, the triple hook enables you to keep your neck strap the same length. To really make a statement, the Mantra saxophone is finished with a beautiful Vintified body with gold lacquer keys.
One of the best soprano saxophones on the market deserves the best pads. And that is why the Mantra saxophone boasts kangaroo skin pads from Music Medic. Kangaroo leather is one of the strongest lightweight leathers around. This is thanks to the highly uniform fibres and elastins throughout the skin, which results in amazing abrasion and tear resistance. This leather is then combined with the finest felt from Europe to achieve a firm feel that remains stable in damp and dry climates. They also make an excellent seal around the tone holes which results in amazing note production, especially in the low end. And to guarantee the best possible quality, all of these pads are hand-assembled and checked in the USA.
