From the back row of the orchestra today…

I’m putting a Mr. P 4.4H to work with my Miraphone 188!

The extra weight is DEFINITELY helping by giving me more volume and a more focused sound.

Heavy weight mouthpieces can really help with the heavy lifting!

2 pictures, 3 days, 1000’s of notes 📸🗓️🎶

I was so busy talking tuba mouthpiece specs and euphonium rim sizes at TMEA 2026 that I literally only managed to take two photos the entire time.

If that’s not a sign of a successful booth, I don't know what is!

A massive thank you to everyone who stopped by the Professor Mouthpiece booth to play-test. It was also a blast sharing space and hanging out with the legends over at BERP and Company—thanks for the good vibes and another great year!

See you all next year (and I promise to try for three photos next time).

Conventional wisdom says rotary tubas like this Miraphone 188 need a bowl-shaped cup to shine. But honestly? I’ve been pairing mine with a Laskey 32H (American shank) lately, and the results are undeniable!

This Helleberg/funnel cup is adding a massive amount of depth and core to the sound that I wasn't getting before. I also don’t feel like the articulations are sounding “woofy”.

Sometimes the "wrong" combination is exactly what the musician needs!

What’s your "against the grain" gear setup?

Have you found a mouthpiece/horn combo that works despite what the charts say?

Gold prices are surging, don’t wait to upgrade!

Gold prices are hitting record highs and we won’t be able to keep these models at their current prices much longer. Take advantage while you can!

Why gold?

Gold plating offers a softer and smoother feel that reduces friction. It can make flexibility easier and help with endurance. It’s also hypoallergenic and simply looks cool!

Lock in the prices on these 5 models before it’s too late.

Robert Tucci RT-50G: The Powerhouse. Large, deep funnel for a massive sound. Great for maximizing the tuba presence in orchestra and has a great low range.

Robert Tucci RT-88G: The Foundation. Bowl shaped cup offering a variety of tonal colors. Excellent choice for larger lips and 4/4 and 5/4 contrabass tubas.

Mr. P 4.4G: The Specialist. Designed by Daniel Perantoni, aka, “Mr. P” to bring life to large tubas with brilliance balanced with strength.

Mr. P 5.0G Small Shank: The Powerhouse 2.0. Another design by Perantoni as an updated American style funnel cup with a sharper rim for better clarity and more control. The small shank keeps the horn feeling open and can help make slurs easier.

Canadian Brass Arnold Jacobs Gold: The Legend. A faithful tribute to the Chicago Symphony master. Pear shaped cup designed to produce an organ like sound.

They’re BACK!!!

The wait is finally over. The popular Robert Tucci Sousapower 8 and RT-88+ tuba mouthpieces are back in stock!

The Sousapower 8 and RT-88+ are very similar…they have the same diameter and are both heavyweight mouthpieces. Each model is also known for its massive sound and killer low range.

What’s the difference?

The Sousapower 8 has a smaller shank, and a modified backbore specifically designed to optimize the air pressure of sousaphones and small receiver tubas.
