Hi,
Does anyone happen to know what the original mouthpiece was on a 1981 B & H 3-valve tuba? Thanks for any information. William.

It was a Besson copy of a 24AW by the 80's, that's what they sent me. Previously you might have found a Kozy Kup as the mouthpiece supplied by the maker.

Mine was stamped "G82". Possibly made by B&H/Besson ? I've never found out for sure.
Basically a paper-weight with a very narrow throat. I saw one recently on E-Bay, sold with a BBb made in 1920.
