Denis Wick DW4386-AT6UY Aaron Tindall Ultra Tuba Mouthpiece - Gold Plated

F Tuba mouthpiece with a large funnel/bowl mixed style cup. Rim designed by Warren Deck - one of the most comfortable rims ever made, featuring just the right amount of width and bite to give the player a sense of comfort and stability.

The shank of this mouthpiece has been very carefully engineered to fit all tunas with standard 'Euroshank'-type fitting (marked U) and the standard American shank fitting (marked Y).

Original lead-pipes from Meinl-Weston, B&S, Yamaha, Eastman, and Miraphone were used in this process. The exact matching of mouthpiece and instrument receiver and lead-pipe is vital to achieve the correct response from modern tubas.

This new mouthpiece designed by Aaron Tindall is for F tubas. It has a slightly shallower cup than the AT5U and is more bowl-shaped, giving a powerful, well-centered sound which would be ideal in both orchestral and chamber music playing. The rim is designed by Warren Deck and is one of the most comfortable on the market. It features just the right amount of width and bite to give the player a sense of comfort and stability. This mouthpiece produces a rich and vibrant sound with plenty of focus. There is a distinct 'shelf' at the bottom of the cup which helps achieve a concentrated power that gives a sound that really projects.
