Canadian Brass Tuba Mouthpiece MB-50 – Silver Plated

Price GBP 99.00

The deep cup is engineered to provide substantial volume and depth of tone, particularly on lower middle register notes which can be critical on some instruments. As examples: notes played with the second and fourth valve where long lengths of cylindrical tubing are required. The diameter and length of the throat are optimized for good resistance, contributing to fast response and enhanced play-ability on the high register. The MB-50 combines a narrow and clearly defined rim with a deep rounded cup. This is ideal for all contrabass tubas: smooth in response and colourful in tone. The MB-50 works very well, particularly for the BBb tubas and the CC tubas, that are not too big. The MB-50 offers a unique combination and balance of desirable qualities.

This mouthpiece is not a direct carry over from the PT-50. The rim is more modern, the kind professionals like, the cup-shape and weight are different as above and in particular, the back bore is completely different.

Cup Diameter: 33mm diameter.
Deep, pear shaped cup.
Rim: Width 7.5 mm.
Narrow rim with clearly defined inner edge.
Bore: 8.3 mm.Weight – 180 grams
Shank – Large for most modern European Models

Canadian Brass Tuba Mouthpiece MB-64 – Silver Plated

Price GBP 99.00

Collectors of Chicago Symphony Orchestra recordings know that Arnold Jacobs’ sound on the F-tuba had the same richness, depth of tone and character as with the CC-tuba.

The MB-64 is ideal for Eb and F-tubas, a virtuoso mouthpiece, ideal for solo and chamber music performance as well as for execution of high-range orchestral passages. It has noticeable positive resistance resulting in particularly good response., remarkable flexibility, rich tonal colour and core. Special attention has been given to the character to provide great breath of sound while retaining a clear and slightly bright quality well into the high range, as well as secure response on low notes. The MB-64 takes the fact that F-tubas are larger and better than ever into consideration. Based on proven design criteria, it is a step forward in the brasswind arts.

Cup Diameter : 32 mm. Moderate depth, rounded cup. 
Rim : 8.0 mm. Slightly cushioned with clearly defined inner edge. 
Bore : 7.8 mm.
Weight – 239 grams
Shank – Large for most modern European Models.

Canadian Brass Tuba Mouthpiece MB-88 – Silver Plated

Price GBP 99.00

The MB-88 is an “adventurous” step in the same direction as the MB-50. This mouthpiece adds substantially to the low register of just about any CC or BBb tuba. Arnold Jacobs often had a truly large mouthpiece for those special occasions! The MB-88 has a wide and deep cup, well-rounded toward the bottom. This is a mouthpiece for strong players, for those who desire a bold sound. The back bore is particularly open, to provide great weight and volume. It has been carefully calibrated to give the sound virility and power. The shell weight is moderate, to provide flexibility and response not normally associated with a truly large mouthpiece. This mouthpiece is not a direct carry over of the PT-88. The rim is more modern, the kind that professionals like, and the cup-shape and weight are different as well as the back bore. If you like the PT-88 you will love the MB-88!

Cup diameter: 33.5 mm Wide, deep cup.
Rim: 7.0mm with a slightly rounded inner edge.
Bore: 8.1 mm
Shank – Large for most modern European Models
