The AMBIKA Stable Wood is the darkest tenor mouthpiece in our entire line-up. It is a great classic jazz mouthpiece with a true vintage sound. While it is very dark sounding, it still projects nicely. It’s warm, deep, and hauntingly gorgeous tone works beautifully with the inherent acoustic beauty of our Stable Wood. 

Stable Wood is made from real hard wood that is impregnated with resin through the use of heat and pressure. Unlike standard wood, Stable Wood will not warp when exposed to heat and moisture, such as from climate changes or saliva. Stable Wood is superior to wood-powder based resins which are similar to particle board and do not have the beautiful sound created by the wood grain.

Even though it has our HUGE True Large Chamber and no baffle, the AMBIKA is not stuffy or thin. The AMBIKA allows one to get the rich spread sound of the 1940s mouthpieces, but yet still project enough to be heard, and feel expressive. Our True Large Chambers are technically superior and more accurate to the vintage (and other new) large chambers due to our patent-pending machining technology.
