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
Silver finish
Silver-toned plating is the common brass-instrument finish. It warms to the lip fast and shows tarnish, which polishes off.
Detail 03
Miraphone brand
Miraphone builds tubas as well as mouthpieces, so this is a natural pairing with a Miraphone horn.

- 03A new rim size takes weeks of playing before your embouchure settles
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit any tuba?
It is cut for tuba, not euphonium or trombone. Shank tapers still differ between horns, so check your receiver — a piece that sits too deep or too shallow will not seat correctly.
02Is a case included?
No. This is the mouthpiece by itself. A pouch or mouthpiece guard is a separate purchase and worth having if it rides loose in your gig bag.
03What is the difference between the TU17 and the TU25?
They are separate models in Miraphone's tuba line at the same price. The TU25 carries the Rose Orchestra name; the TU17 does not.
04How do I clean it?
Warm water, mild soap and a mouthpiece brush through the throat. Dry it fully. A silver polishing cloth handles tarnish on the outside.
