Mouthpiece values?

[imperialbari]

You are going to teach tuba and want to sell some pretty standard mouthpieces? What about keeping them as test samples for your students?

I think if you go to the For Sale forum and search those MPs , you'll get a good idea of what the market is willing to pay for any of those..

How would you go about that? I can use google to search the whole of Tubenet for "c4" ("c4 site:forums.chisham.com"), but don't know how to constrain the search to the For Sale forum. The Tubenet search facility won't search for "c4", I suppose it doesn't index short strings like that. I'm not saying you can't find anything this way, but it's a shame it isn't easier.

Those mouthpieces aren't going to add up to a big financial windfall. They're perfect for what Klaus proposed, several classics in there. Once in a while someone really wants a C4, so there's a chance a clean one could go for maybe 2/3 retail (under its new name "TU23"), and possibly same for the Yamaha. But to really get rid of all those mouthpieces in a hurry, they'd have to be almost free. Maybe sell them as a lot, five mouthpieces for the price of one.

I have about 10 mouthpices and these are the ones I would like to get rid of because I never use them. I am mainly a saxophone player and don't intend on teaching tuba lessons.

Josef, I have taught in a remote place, where immediate access to musical supplies rather was sluggish. I am aware about your major field of interest, but when you are going to teach marching band in Nome, AK, those mouthpieces, that odd sax pad, and your currently not so hot plastic reed may be what gets you through an ever so unexpected situation.

And unless you are in urban or even metropole areas, you may end up as the most qualified local teacher of the tuba.

What condition? If they're in decent used shape then like $25 to $35 each should get 'em sold and out of your way.
