BlessingTuba and Sousaphone Mouthpieces 24Aw - Silver Plated
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A silver-plated 24AW mouthpiece for tuba and sousaphone. A large, wide-rim size aimed at players who need comfort through long rehearsals and marching.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching sousaphone players who need rim comfort over long practices
- School and community tuba players wanting one mouthpiece for both horns
- Doubling between concert tuba and sousaphone without changing size
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players with a small-shank tuba receiver — check first
- Anyone wanting a narrow rim for fast, precise attacks
- Euphonium or baritone; those take a much smaller mouthpiece
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
W (wide rim)
More surface against the lip. Spreads pressure and helps endurance, at some cost to precision on fast attacks.
Detail 03
Fits tuba and sousaphone
One mouthpiece can cover both horns if the receivers match. Tuba shanks are not fully standardized, so verify.
Detail 04
Silver plated
Handles sweat and handling better than raw brass and wipes clean. Plating can wear at the rim over years.
Detail 05
$73.99
Mid-priced. Above a stock school mouthpiece, well below custom work. Reasonable to own two, one per horn.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Tuba shanks vary — test-fit or measure your receiver before committing
- 02Bigger mouthpieces take more air; expect an adjustment period coming from smaller
- 03Add a pouch so the rim doesn't get dinged in a gig bag
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my sousaphone?
Most sousaphones use the same receiver as a standard tuba, so usually yes. Shanks are not fully standardized, though, so test-fit if you can.
02Is 24AW too big for a middle school player?
It's a large size. Younger players often start smaller and grow into it. The wide rim helps comfort but takes more air to fill.
03Can I use this on a euphonium?
No. Euphonium uses a much smaller mouthpiece and a different shank. This is sized for tuba and sousaphone.
04What does the W in 24AW mean?
Wide rim. More lip contact spreads pressure over long playing sessions, which helps endurance but trades away some precision on quick passages.
