For Sale: Michael Bunn's Mouthpiece Collection

[Wes Krygsman]

FOR SALE: Micheal Bunn’s Tuba Mouthpiece Collection

Some of you may have already heard, but for the past 2-3 months, I have taken on a fairly overwhelming project. I was asked to help inventory and sell the mouthpiece collection for the family of Michael Bunn, former principal tuba with the Kennedy Center Opera Orchestra for 41 years. He is no longer playing and is liquidating his entire tuba mouthpiece collection which includes almost 400 mouthpieces.

Some quick tips on navigating this document:
1. The whole spreadsheet is color coded
-RED=Sold
-YELLOW=On Hold
-WHITE=Available

2. There are 2 tabs on the bottom of the spreadsheet.
-First tab is tuba mouthpieces with a few trombone/baritone mouthpieces mixed in as well.
-The second tab is modular tuba mouthpiece components.

3. This is a living document, meaning it will be updated fairly frequently. I will try for daily updates if necessary. Please reload the page to make sure you have the most recent version.

If you are interested in purchasing anything on the list, please find me and send me a private message on Facebook Messenger (https://www.facebook.com/wes.krygsman/) or email me (weskrygsman@gmail.com). I will then take a short video to show you all the details of the condition of each mouthpiece or mouthpieces that you are interested in.

I will contact buyers in the order that the messages are received. Please realize that I am only one person with many other obligations and be patient with my responses.

To avoid shipping, I am willing to meet up near northern NJ, or I can bring a bunch with me to the Army Band Workshop next weekend, but I will only bring those mouthpieces that are asked about beforehand. Serious buyers only please, as space is limited in my car (I can’t and won’t bring all 300 unless I have definite buyers for each).

Please feel free to share this list with anyone you know who might be also be interested.

Lastly, if anyone has any Michael Bunn stories, please also share them with me through Facebook Messenger or email so I can pass those stories along to the Bunn family. Anything you might like to share would be greatly appreciated.

Quick bump for many still being available.

Also, to clear up any confusion...I am absolutely willing to ship to anywhere in the US. All the prices include shipping.

What I meant by my statement "to avoid shipping..." was that if anyone wants to meet in person instead, either at my place, Kean University, or at the Army Band workshop event that has now passed, I was willing to do that as well.

Here's some links to pictures by brand of mp. All are public Facebook posts, so everyone should be able to see them. I'll still send a video showing you the details of the mouthpiece you are interested before you buy, so follow the above directions.

For anyone attending it, I can offer some discounts at the US Army Band Tuba Euphonium Workshop in DC at the end of this week. I have about 93 mouthpieces left from this collection.

I'll knock off the $10 shipping fee since we are meeting in person, and another $10 for the convenience of taking care of it at the workshop. So that's $20 off each mouthpiece left on the list.

I can offer further discounts for buying bundles of 5 mouthpieces or more as well. Make a reasonable offer, I may counter offer, but I am sure we could come to some agreement so I come home with way less mouthpieces than I left with.

Let me know what you want me to bring and I'll have them with me reserved for you.

I also still have the MW 45 F tuba bell that I could bring. Make an offer on that and avoid the shipping hassle.

Also, you could just say hello and talk tuba. I am always happy to geek out.

See you there!

Update June 2025: Down to just over 70 mouthpieces left in this collection. Prices lowered again. Tonight, I will update the Facebook post links above with the new prices and the ones that have sold since last post.

Sept 4, 2025 lowered prices bump.

[Wes Krygsman]

Lowered prices again Dec 2025...even so, I can add further discounts/savings if you buy multiple mouthpieces that I can ship together.

Contact me through email or Facebook messenger (both linked above) to let me know which mouthpieces you are interested in.
