Re: Geib mouthpieces
Nothing secretive about this at all, these mouthpieces just aren't part of their regularly-catalogued items. Call them up, tell them you are interested in the Kanstul Geib tuba mouthpiece that Jim is making, and they'll take your order.

OK! Back 1/2 step! Why would a rotary valve horn respond more slowly than a piston? Is it the 180 deg. turn? Has it been measured?

Re: Geib mouthpieces
Valve type is just one of several factors. Metal thickness, receiver gap, leadpipe length, mts gap, etc.sailn2ba wrote:OK! Back 1/2 step! Why would a rotary valve horn respond more slowly than a piston? Is it the 180 deg. turn? Has it been measured?

Re: Geib mouthpieces
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that rotary valves only turn 90° (1/4 turn)sailn2ba wrote:Why would a rotary valve horn respond more slowly than a piston? Is it the 180 deg. turn?
