Re: Tuba mouthpiece question?
I get a lot of spit in the mouthpiece when I'm not using enough air. More Air.

Re: Tuba mouthpiece question?
Is it because I am not using enough air so the spit doesn't go through the tubing? I guess that's pretty reasonable

Re: Tuba mouthpiece question?
I had a MW 25 and never had this problem. I switched to a MW 20, and have experienced just what you described. The valve and lead pipe sections are nearly identical. I use the same amount of air, so I attribute it to gravity. I now tilt my horn slightly forward and left when not playing, and problem solved.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
