Especially for the professional tuba player, new mouthpieces have been introduced to give even more volume and projection.
They are a little more difficult to control, but the extra effort repays dividends. The inner rim contours are a little rounded for players who need to
spend long hours in practice or performance. Much research has gone into the subtle reworking of the exterior shape to give even more powerful maximum
dynamics and volume in all registers.
