Thoughts on creating a mouthpiece
Posted: Sun Nov 10, 2019 10:33 am
Recently, I made a passing remark to a sponsor of this site about creating a tuba mouthpiece since they were looking at the market for trumpet mouthpieces.
The passing remark got unexpected traction
and they asked for input.
So I kinda thought about what I'd like to see in a mouthpiece. After giving input, they then asked me if about market appeal.
So I come to the TNFJ. For those of you who are rotary players (this includes me), how would you feel about having a Laskey 30G style mouthpiece but with a slightly more rounded rim (I'm thinking like the Geib style rim found on the Chris Olka/Dillon tuba mouthpieces)?
If not that, how would you feel about a RT-88 with a slightly smaller inner cup diameter (I'm thinking 32.8 - 33.0)
Either type would be brass in silver plate.
Keep in mind, the company does not have any official plans to release a mouthpiece.
Would anyone be interested in that?
