Perantucci Mouthpiece doesn't EXIST!!!!!

Post by grain1rc »

I am currently using my professor's Perantucci PT-4C mouthpiece for Euphonium, and I want to purchase my own but I cannot find the mouthpiece ANYWHERE on the internet! Does anybody know if this mouthpiece exists somewhere online? Perantucci usually makes tuba mouthpieces, so I'm thinking this may have been a custom made mouthpiece for Euph.

Thanks!

They do exist as I see 4 models of Perantucci mpcs listed on Dave Werden's mouthpiece chart. See link below:

Trombone Mouthpieces
listed alphabetically
Miraphone 5050 - Warburton BJ/RF mpc
YEP-641S (recently sold), DE mpc (102 rim; I-cup; I-9 shank)

A PT-4C is a PT-4 with a Bass Trombone shank.

According to this: http://www.tubaforum.it/Perantucci/Pera ... pieces.pdf" target="_blank (scroll to the last page) , the letter is the shank size where:

A = Tenor trombone shank
B = Old English euphonium sized shank (whatever that means, I don't know, maybe this is what euphers call European?)
C = Bass trombone shank

The PT-4C is the standard mouthpiece supplied by Custom Music with Sterling Virtuosos and B&S PT33 and 37 euphs, and can be ordered through Custom Music. IIRC, the price at the Army Band conference was $75.

The one that came with my Virtuoso is just taking up space on the shelf. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

The shank variants are hidden behind the Options button.
