The ROBERT TUCCI concept: “A comprehensive selection of mature and proven tuba mouthpieces designed by and for professionals. The designers are you, the musicians to whom we listen. With each ensuing production sequence all desired aspects of tonal color, response, dynamic and factual range are implemented into our products.”

  • Cup Diameter: 32.5 mm diameter. Moderate depth and funnel shaped.
  • Rim: 7.5 mm. Medium-sharp inner. Rounded outer edge.
  • Bore: 8.3 mm. 
  • Resistance : Moderate. 

Proven and widely accepted general purpose mouthpiece. Responsive, clear sound with an obvious center. Ideal for large-bore instruments when fast response is desired. Narrow rim provides remarkable flexibility. Cup has the depth necessary for good tone quality and resonance. Unique cup-diameter to cup-volume relationship.

  • Rim: 7.20 mm. Narrow with clearly-defined inner edge. 
  • Bore: 8.70 mm.

“German Orchestral Sound.” Popular for large Eb/F-tuba or small Bb/C tubas. Straight-wall, well-rounded, elongated cup combined with a large-bore and small shank opens up a new world of sound for musicians who perform on smaller tubas. The sound is full and noble, deeply resonant with substantial volume and projection. Overall balance and efficiency are excellent.

RT-44

  • Cup Diameter: 32.5 mm. Medium-large depth, funnel shaped.
  • Rim: 7.5 mm. Rounded inner and sharp outer edges.
  • Bore: 8.4 mm. 
  • Resistance: Moderate. 

Provides a strong fundamental, rich and colorful sound with excellent projection. Highly-refined balance of all desirable qualities. Ideal for medium and large-bore instruments. Low register is easily produced. Smaller instruments benefit from cup characteristics but still warm with larger instruments as well.

  • Cup Diameter: 32.50 mm. Medium-deep cup.
  • Rim: 7.6 mm. Narrow rim with clearly defined inner edge. 
  • Bore: 8.4 mm. 
  • Resistance: Free-blowing. 

The ultimate realization of classic American mouthpiece philosophy. Fast response and newly defined linearity in sound and intonation. Rich tonal character and strong projection. Large dynamic range and tonal modulation capability combine toward the “great mouthpiece for every musical environment” objective. Cup diameter, cup volume, and throat/bore are large. Shell weight and resistance are balanced for ease of execution.

RT-48

  • Cup Diameter: 32.5 mm. Deep, pear-shaped cup.
  • Rim: 8.0 mm. Rounded inner and outer edges.
  • Bore: 8.3 mm. 
  • Resistance: Moderate – open blowing.

Dark sound with a pronounced core. Rim enhanced for quick response and clarity. Ideal for those who find models 36/44 too small and 50/88 too large. 

  • Available in heavy-shell configuration (RT48+).

RT-50

  • Cup Diameter: 33.0 mm. Large, deep.
  • Rim: 7.5 mm. Sharp inner edge.

RT-83

  • Cup Diameter: 32 mm. Long tapered funnel.
  • Rim: 7.5 mm. Moderately round rim.
  • Bore: 8.6 mm. 
  • Resistance: Moderate. 

This model offers comfortable resistance and ease of tone production for players who prefer a moderately wide cup for a melodic dark sound. The rim/cup configuration provides quick response and substantial volume enhanced by a rather large throat/backbore for resonance and efficiency. Works particularly well on medium-bore instruments. Ideal for young players as well as advanced who use large instruments. 

RT-84

  • Cup Diameter: 32 mm. Apple-shaped. 
  • Rim: 8.0 mm.

  • Rim: 7.0 mm. Flat, well-defined inner edge.
  • Bore: 8.1 mm.

“HD Power Tool.” The ultimate large contrabass mouthpiece for the musician who requires maximum volume while retaining excellent response characteristics, maximum dynamic range, immense tonal breadth and a powerful, commanding low register. Ideal for those who perform in large symphonic ensembles. Resistance is adjusted for control and efficiency. 

  • Also available heavy-shell configuration (RT88+).

SOUSAPOWER 3 & 4

Designed for marching horns where projection is paramount. These heavy-shell mouthpieces are open blowing and deeply resonant. Reduced pressure enables greater flow of air in a range where many mouthpieces choke up. Once the functional advantages are recognized, the upper middle and high registers of most instruments are more accessible, with a fine consistency of tone quality over a greater range. A unique balance between cup, shape, throat and backbore dimensions assuring excellent intonation. The player’s firm embouchure interacts and compliments the acoustical impedance generated in the instrument for optimal sound energy. High output results in efficiency and therefore ease of performance.

  • Rim: 8.00 mm. Clearly defined inner edge. 
  • Bore: 8.65 mm.

Please stop emailing me about this

I ordered a mouthpiece. I got the mouthpiece (with some tarnish somehow?). They won’t leave me alone about leaving a review.
