Classic Bach Tuba mouthpiece with the heavyweight MEGATONE profile - darkness and power. Silver or Gold Plated.
Tuba players have always experimented with ways to create a darker sound by using various mouthpiece add-ons to add weight and mass. The Bach MEGATONE Mouthpiece takes these experiments one step further. To create the Mega Tone, Selmer starts with genuine Vincent Bach mouthpiece designs and more than doubles the outside mass. This darkens the sound and allows you to play at higher dynamic levels without distortion.
Mega Tone slots extremely well so pitches centre dependably, and a slightly larger throat affords less resistance and greater flexibility. The result is a warmer, more powerful sound that adds a new dimension to concert, pop and jazz playing.
