Yamaha BB-Neo68D4 Neo Series Tuba Mouthpiece

Neo Series

Yamaha has created this new Neo Mouthpiece primarily for use in British brass bands. A newly developed Neo Specialized Heat Treatment (NSHT) that enhances tonal depth and warmth has been applied to ensure spectacular brass instrument sound and expression. Particular care has been taken to achieve ideal weight and balance in a unique design that results in consistently superior playability and tone throughout each instrument's range. The new Neo mouthpiece give players unprecedented musical potential.

Ideal balance for smooth, consistent playability and tone throughout the instrument's range.

The new Neo mouthpieces are thicker in the area closest to the player's lips. This provides ideal resistance plus smooth, consistent tone over the wide range required for brass band performance.

A rim shape that inspires confidence

A new rim contour that is flatter than the standard models helps to maintain lip stability even when playing for many hours or playing with vibrato. Lip contact and fit are notably improved for enhanced long-term playing stability.

A newly developed Neo Specialized Heat Treatment (NSHT) maximizes tonal depth and warmth.

A heat treatment process designed specifically for Neo mouthpieces independently alters the physical properties of the metal in the cup, rim, and shank areas, achieving ideal overall quality and characteristics for British brass band mouthpieces.

Thick tone with ample volume

An excellent choice for BBb tubas, beautiful deep tone and plenty of volume emanate from a moderately large rim interior and throat.
