Tuba

Specifications
Most of our New York Collection of tuba mouthpieces were used by principle players in New York Orchestras as well as their students.

The BTR model was used for many years by the leading commercial tubist in New York during the height of the recording boom.

All remain popular requests as custom duplications hence their inclusion as part of the New York Collection.
