Hello everyone,


A while back I attended one of the sunset parades in D.C. I noticed that the tuba players were playing on white mouthpieces. They look great. What kind of mouthpieces are those and where could I purchase one? BTW you guys sounded AMAZING.

White... A few of us have DEG mouthpieces made of nylon. Mine is one of those. It's basically a plastic Bach 18. Nothing special, just really light. They've been around for decades, don't know if you can buy them new anymore.

Yes, DEG still sells them. It's called the Astro:
