And whether you want a left-hand or right-hand model.the elephant wrote:Yes, I agree with Ralph. The TROLL mouthpiece is an excellent one, possibly the best ever. But I try hard to avoid such blanket statements as "best ever" or "great for everyone" when discussing equip,ent. Remember, BigDog, that your mileage may vary from all of ours (especially if you happen to have a World Class Sound).
When ordering, just remember to specify whether you want the American or the European shank.

dude, that Troll mouthpiece was the gas. I never played so high and fast and loud as with that mouthpiece, on my 40K it was all I could do to back off to mm208 on Carnival of Venice, in the Trumpet range.
People had to cover their ears, it was so loud.

I am not worthy in my playing ability to fully utilize a TROLL brand mouthpiece. I have to stick with the rather conventional mouthpieces in my signature.

There was in production, for a brief period of time, that mouthpiece that doubled as an enema bag nozzle. Now that's handy!!

And if you call within the next 10 minutes, we'll include the bong for free.

If there was a "best mouthpiece ever" then I guess everyone would be playing it.

"Swirled-class sound"!

Ah, yes, that was the "Shy-C-Tone", wasn't it? Interesting slogan in their ads: "This sound needs an enema!"SplatterTone wrote:There was in production, for a brief period of time, that mouthpiece that doubled as an enema bag nozzle. Now that's handy!!

I must have purchased a defective one. Mine makes a lot of mistakes, and doesn't always play with a world class sound.Tubaing wrote:Original Conn Helleberg. I've heard some rumor that they play perfectly on their own!bigdog90210 wrote:what is the best mouthpiece ever for tuba?

They may have shipped you an "extra crispy" one by mistake -- I tried one of those once, and the sound was definitely crunchy!TubaRay wrote:I must have purchased a defective one.

You probably had your tuba turned up to 11, then.

I heard Kelly will soon have a lexan KellyTROLL mouthpiece in a brand new color!

I, for one, would suggest the sainted Conn Helleberg, but made of depleted uranium. Brass is, like, soooooooo passe.
Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 3:51 pm
Yes and then they are going to make it in Stainless steel also.....the SS TROLL....lgb&dtuba wrote:I heard Kelly will soon have a lexan KellyTROLL mouthpiece in a brand new color!
