I just received this email advertisement from Mouthepice Express. I thought it was sort of funny.

On the Mouthpiece express website it mentions that it would work for F tuba.

?? F tuba? the mouthpiece difference from a bass to a contrabass isn't that much.....if it works for F, it'll probably be ok for contrabass....

interesting concept anyways.

Your lips are tired from vibrating together so you want to relax them by vibrating them more?
I think this has bin discussed many times. It’s called a warm down.
Playing a few long tones after the gig does the same thing for free!
Give me $79.00 and I show you how! :lol:
Yup, let’s be transparent about this matter!

Though there are hundreds of products to help you lose weight/tone up that require little or no exercising........same concept, same bull...but someone is making money. :P


I do have to say, I enjoy a good warm-down though.
