Dave Houser made all of the original line of LOUD mouthpieces. Houser manufactured (and likely designed) all of their products. The Houser name or brandmark was on every LOUD mouthpiece. At some point Dave and "Loud" stopped their business arrangement for whatever reason. Now, the *current* LOUD products are made by somebody else. The previous LOUD line has been renamed by Mr. Houser and is still for sale so he obviously owned the designs. The major difference is that the new Houser MK mouthpieces have been slightly redesigned to share removable rim threads with the Sellmansberger line and that they are all available with both American and Euro shanks (which the LOUD stuff was not).

The Mouthpiece Ordnance line, formerly LOUD Mouthpieces, has been redesigned with the same rim/cup interface as the Sellmansberger products so that all rims will fit all cups.

Check out the latest Tuba Tech Sheet (version 2). Rims and now Cups are in this free reference. Get yours below.

There is now a choice of shanks - Euro and American.

If you have a LOUD product and need a rim etc. to be compatible with what you currently own, we can make it for you. Just give us a call.
