What Do You Do.....?
What do you do with that tuba mouthpiece that is just no good anymore? You know the one: you got it in marching band, all the plating is worn off, the rim is chipped, dented, scratched,the shank is out of round, probably been with you longer than your significant other (I know mine has). Its now only good as a paper weight. Is there any dignified "retirement" for an old mouthpiece?

Sure! Send it to me. I like to experiment with old MP's They can easily be modified and replated.

well in terms of being "Creative" I saw someone who had taken a mouthpiece like you describe, weld a silver dollar (illegal I think) on the end of the shank ...replate it.....and voilla .... Tuba Mouthpiece Shot Glass what could be more appropriate?

Maybe use as a funnel for R/C vehicle applications?
Get another and make a bolo.
You could send it out to a few guys who do mouthpiece restoration.

It looks pretty cool when he comes around a corner towards you.
