Looks decent. 22 bucks for a three mouthpiece pouch if you buy it now. Their website doesn't show accessories though so just go straight to ebay to look at them. Just type in "tuba pouch".

Heh. Mine was in the mail yesterday. Solid construction. My mouthpieces fit inside. I don't feel like I made a terrible financial sacrifice to get this 3-mouthpiece pouch which successfully serves as a pouch for three of my mouthpieces. So you could call that value.

I bought one on e-Bay thinking it would be 'good'. It's 'really good' - nice soft leather, substantial materials and well put together.

I keep my 'whateva' in the pouch, but sometimes forget that it's there.

I have a previous incarnation of this product, called, I think "the tuba butler", it has spaces for 2 mouthpieces, and a pocket for bottles or whatever, and looks quite cool.
So, yes a good product and well made.

Surely, you know the only way to carry mouthpieces is in a hard case. Mouthpiece pouches just do not provide adequate protection!
You should have known better than to post that here - now more tuba players are going to run out and buy so-called "pouches" that do not offer the kind of security a mouthpiece hardcase offers:

Seeing as mouthpieces don't cost thousands of dollars, I think a pouch is fine :D . I will admit that I did laugh, but you know that The Elephant was just making a pragmatic observation and stating it in his own way.

Sadly, that has not been my experience at all. Neither Dolly nor her son (a pro trumpet player) answer e-mails or letters about the bag I mailed about three years ago for a replacement zipper. She phoned once to apologize, but never followed through. :shock:
