I just noticed the mouthpiece in the picture; what is it?

Yes, I didn't notice the mouthpiece right away but could somebody identify it

Mouthpiece? What mouthpiece?

I don't think this is what is meant by "System Blue," but I'm good with it.

I'm interested in learning more about that horn configuration. Is that a shoulder strap within the horn? A name/type or links to pictures/info would be appreciated.

What would be special about this mouthpiece? Looks like an old German one, maybe the Kölner type.

The instrument looks like the Herculesophone type of helicon.

A better picture of the helicon seems to be here: http://www.123rf.com/photo_31402455_you ... trait.html

Here's a couple more pictures of the tuba/mouthpiece in the picture.
