what kind of mouthpiece pouch?

I would like to get a mouthpiece pouch that holds multiple mouthpieces...i haven't had any luck finding any at dillons, wwbw, etc, and found one at baltimore brass co.

can anybody vouch for the quality of that model?

any other suggestions?

Mike Milnarik sells a very nice one. Heavily padded, made of cordura nylon,with a Velcro closure, holding two mouthpieces (or a mouthpiece and a whistle):

Get it at:

I won a Milnarik pouch at a tuba contest a while back (thanks, Mike!), and I can vouch that they are great! The one I have holds two tuba mouthpieces. It has really thick padding and seems very sturdily built.I experimented with mine a bit, and you can throw it around and drop it, whatever, with no fear of damage or of the mouthpieces falling out.

I would like to second the Cavallaro pouch, it holds 4 mouthpieces and its really a great case. Cheap too. I would go with that one.

How about these? I like mine, but I had to alter it just a little. They stitched up between the slots a little too high, the mouthpieces wouldn't push in the slots quite far enough to close the zipper easily. I pulled a few stitches out so the mouthpieces fit just right. It has lots of padding to protect the mouthpieces in case you would drop the pouch. And $20 is plenty cheap for this pouch.

I agree with TubaRyan. Dollybags are great.

Dough Elliott sells single cases that work quite well. I don't see them on his website (http://www.dougelliottmouthpieces.com), but I'm pretty sure that he sells them separately (his mouthpieces come with one).

I prefer the cases like Doug's and Mike Milnarik's that use a flap, instead of those that are boxy and three-dimensional, because they seem to fit in a gig-bag music pouch better.

I'll put in another vote for the Milnarik two-mouthpiece pouch; it's the nearest thing to bulletproof.

Mike told me that he has a single mouthpiece pouch of the same basic design in the works -- it should be available in the next couple of weeks.
