Detail 01
Tuba and sousaphone fit
One mouthpiece covers both horns, so a player moving between concert tuba and marching sousaphone keeps the same rim.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take

Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching sousaphone players needing a spare
- Schools standardizing mouthpieces across a low brass section
- Replacing a dented or worn stock tuba mouthpiece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Euphonium and baritone, which take a smaller shank
- Players with a nickel or silver plating sensitivity
- Anyone already settled on a specific custom rim
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Size 18
A general-purpose size rather than a specialty deep or shallow cup, so it suits section playing more than solo extremes.
Detail 03
Silver plating
Smoother against the lips than raw brass and resists tarnish, which matters on a mouthpiece handled outdoors.
Detail 04
$73.99
Tuba mouthpieces cost more simply because of the mass of metal. This sits at the practical end, not the boutique end.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only. No pouch or brush included, and tuba mouthpieces dent easily loose in a bag
- 02Check your receiver, since tuba shanks vary between American and European horns
- 03Cold metal is rough outdoors. Warm it before a marching call
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it work in a sousaphone?
Yes. It is made for both tuba and sousaphone receivers, so the same mouthpiece moves between concert and marching horns.
02Will it fit a euphonium?
No. Euphonium and baritone use a smaller shank. A tuba mouthpiece will not seat properly in either.
03Why does it cost more than a trumpet mouthpiece?
It is far larger and heavier. A tuba mouthpiece uses several times the metal and takes more machining on the cup and throat.
04How should I store it?
In a padded pouch or case slot. A dropped tuba mouthpiece dents at the shank, and a bent shank will not seal in the receiver.
