SchilkeStandard Series Tuba Mouthpiece 62 Silver
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Silver-plated Schilke tuba mouthpiece, 1.254-inch cup with a 21/64 throat. A mid-size, all-around piece for BBb players who also spend time on Eb or F horns.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert band players wanting one mouthpiece that covers the whole book
- Doublers moving between a large horn and Eb or F tuba
- Players who need the low and high register to speak equally
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing maximum bottom-end volume from a very large cup
- Anyone committed to a Helleberg rim contour — see the SH
- Students not yet ready to leave a stock mouthpiece behind
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
21/64 throat
Schilke's standard tuba throat. Resistance feels conventional, so air response stays predictable coming from most factory pieces.
Detail 03
Also recommended for Eb or F tuba
One rim feel across your big horn and a small horn, so switching instruments doesn't reset your embouchure.
Detail 04
Centered sound
The core stays focused rather than spreading, which helps you blend inside a section instead of sitting on top of it.
Detail 05
Even response high and low
Pedal range and upper register both speak without changing your setup mid-piece.
Detail 06
Silver plating
Slightly more grip on the lip than bare brass. Wipe dry after playing; tarnish is cosmetic and polishes off.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch, brush, or case in the box
- 02Measure your current cup diameter against 1.254 inches before committing to the switch
- 03Give a new rim two or three weeks before judging it fairly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What size is the Schilke 62?
1.254 inches (31.85 mm) cup diameter with a 21/64 throat — a mid-size standard tuba mouthpiece.
02Will this work on an F tuba?
Yes. Schilke recommends the 62 for Eb and F tuba as well as larger horns.
03How does it compare to the 66 or the Schilke Helleberg?
The 66 is smaller at 1.241 inches. The SH is close in size but uses a different rim contour and gives a clear, dark sound. The 62 is slightly larger and more centered.
04Is this a student mouthpiece?
It works for students, but it isn't a stripped-down starter piece. It's a standard all-around size players keep using well past school.
