Not too bright, or too dark, but the perfect balance. It is the evolution of the traditional Meyer-type alto sound. But, it has Theo's new Large-Stadium-Chamber™, so it has tons of core too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses a unique and proprietary Elongated-Roll-Over-Baffle™, as well as Theo’s new Large-Stadium Chamber™. The Large-Stadium-Chamber™ is a technologically advanced version of a traditional large chamber, combining True-Large Chamber sections with Medium Chamber sections for a focus and core that is incredible while maintaining the full, rich sound of a Vintage True-Large-Chamber.  The ‘Stadium-Chamber’ name comes from its shape, which approximates the shape of a sports stadium. The LAKSHMI projects very well, but never sounds harsh or thin, just a big, dark and sweet sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LAKSHMI Alto lends itself well to straight-ahead Jazz, but is equally at home in big bands or in any style of playing, as it has very good projection.
