The biggest reason for selling this is to help with a trip. But also because I don’t see myself playing a full sized BBb tuba anymore. It’s a big, powerful, great playing mouthpiece, but my goal is to play a more appropriately sized Eb or F tuba for doubling in jazz bands. I had a nice 3/4 BBb tuba but even then I felt it wasn’t right.
Tuba mouthpieces are too big to fit in the small priority shipping boxes so I’ll be doing one of those egg drop school science projects with bubble wrap and tape inside a priority envelope.
$220 shipped OBO obviously this is less than what I paid new, but if this isn’t the going rate for gold Schilke pieces let me know. I deal mostly with trombone equipment
