Re: 24AW Rim Modification


Messing around with modifying an already altered mouthpiece is fine. But it will be more effective to ask around some more local tuba players to test out mouthpieces they have. A friend of mine loaned me 6 a few weeks ago and the schilke 67 really surprised me. Point being, the more options you ...

I've just started on Tuba last year after having to pack in the trombone due to a shoulder problem and a friend has lent me a couple of mouthpieces to try with my Martin Mammoth 3 valve BBb.

Re: 24AW Rim Modification


What do you like about the 67 rim -- the fact that it's narrower, or the fact that it's a little flatter, or has a bit more of inner "bite"?

I think some companies (maybe Robert Tucci and Mercer & Barker) offer something that is like a Bach 24AW but with a less rounded/large rim. If it were me, I ...

After playing the trombone for the last 48 years ( 18 of those professionally) I have recently bought my self a 4 valve Imperial EEb due to a chronic shoulder complaint that leaves me unable to hold the trombone for too long.
