Sadly, yes. Canadian Brass gold Daellenbach that I haven't used (needed) in years.

2
Canadian Brass Arnold Jacobs (for contrabass)
Canadian Brass Chuck Dallenbach (for bass)

they are def not clunkers, just ones I don't use right now, but they are really close to what I play now.

Yamaha 67C4, kellyberg, and a Bach 24W all ended up in my car somehow. Also have a helleberg that spends some time in there and could be playable pretty quickly

I have a Besson #14.

Thankfully I haven't hit the age where I start forgetting mouthpieces!

Ever since I forgot my mouthpiece for a quintet rehearsal, I have kept a Kellyberg in my glove box just in case.

The quintet on that rehearsal night went to a bar instead and drank beer for 2 hours

Next time I forget a mouthpiece I may or may not get the Kellyberg out of the car depending on how thirsty I am!!

a Conn 2

I keep the PT50 that I am not currently using in the my car just in case.

I join the ranks of those who has a Kellyberg in my glove box, and a music stand on the floor in the back at all times.

probably not a bad idea, Many years ago i grabbed my sousaphone (with no case) to play a parade and arrived at the parade to realize I did not have a mouthpeice. Luckily there was enough time to run home since I was not far form home.

Ever since that day however I always make sure I have one. Since I have no case for my helicon I have a little fanny pack with oil, bits, neck, mouthpiece and lyre for my helicon. I always make sure I have it. But having one in the car would be a good idea and I think I wil start to do that. I keep an extra music stand in every car and a an extra black bow tie in my tuba case. I have a Conn 2 and a few extra hellebergs that just might become car backups! I should probably keep some trombone pieces there too.

Sounds like a wise precaution -- better to have it and not need it than t'other way 'round ...

Yes....a Lexan Canadian Brass Jacobs mouthpiece resides in my glovebox. Luckily, I've never had to pull my reserve 'shute.....

At one point in time I had 3 DIllion Geib 3 mouthpieces. One in brass and two in bronze*. I picked up two of them (can't remember which) for very little money so I had one I could always leave in the car, briefcase, etc. If I hadn't found those cheap, I probably would have had bought another Bach 7. This was when I was pretty much teaching lessons and playing only CC. If I had to have a backup for bass tuba, it probably would have been a Mirafone C4 or Bach 18.

*Yes I preferred the sound of the bronze. It seemed to carry more fundamental in the sound.

Always a Kellyberg. Great for the occasional buzzing, and prevents the "did I forget my mouthpiece?" paranoia that everyone experiences at least once.
Usually a trombone slide sprayer (amazingly, works as well on tenor as it does on bass.)
Sometimes a Kelly 1 1/2 G and/or Kelly 12C trombone piece.
Always a 12V charger for my PSP aka mobile Internet aka Skype phone.
Always a pile of fast-food coupons that usually expire before they are used.

I keep a Miraphone C4 in the glove box, in a pinch, it doubles as a CC or F MP (or BBb or Eb). I also have a kellyberg floating around the car most of the time.

I did have to play a gig once on the tbone player's spare mouthpiece and it was traumatic enough that I keep extras everywhere. . .

A Dillon M1CB, with a bored out throat. I have since started doing this because I did forget my briefcase, which happened to have all my music and mouthpieces in it, a few weeks ago. Thankfully we were playing Dvorak 9, so I just sat there anyway...

Currently, in my 1998 Silverado I carry (in the center console) the following:

Kellyberg - old gold
Americanized Geib- very, very old mpc that followed me after graduating from UK
Conn Helleberg- it too followed me home . . .
Screwrim- made at UK by physics department based on Schilke and Herrick
Stofer Chief - obtained in a trade with Jeopardymaster for Helleberg Sear
Stofer Gieb - if Lee does it, then I love it.

All are in Grime Gutter pouches with the odd leather Gard pouch interspersed for shock absorption. These are easier to replace than a stolen tuba, plus I always know where they are.
