I offer typical wide rims that are common widths and contours that screw onto my cups, but a very large percentage of players who stumble across my thin tuba mouthpiece rims (such as profile #2 - that some friend of theirs might be using) end up calling me and ordering a #2 profile thin rim (after ...

It's the trumpet/horn correlation/comparison you just mentioned, but in the other direction. The ranges aren't really that comparable.

The bass trombone has to be flexible enough to cover from below the bass staff (sometimes a lot, pedal tones galore) to well above the staff (I've seen 4-ledger ...

I might be only guessing, or maybe I read someone else just guessing, but it may be simply because they don't go out and get wider diameter brass stock just to cut their widest bass trombone mouthpiece. So its rim can be only so wide. Or that might be just Bach.

Just to make my question clearer

Trumpet and horns use mouthpieces of the same diameter (or similar diameter)

Trumpet's rim is much wider. It helps a lot with the upper register

Horn's rim is much thinner. It helps a lot with flexibility, considering that the horn has a much larger range ...

I'm just curious...

Can you tell me why the bass trombone mouthpiece usually has a very thin rim, and the tuba (including mouthpieces for bass tuba) usually have a much wider rim?

Is there a necessity of thin rims for bass trombones?

So cool to see how much support our workshop has! Looking forward to providing another great one in 2026!


Thank you so much for your answer!

My favorite is the US Army Tuba Euphonium Workshop at Ft. Myer in Arlington, VA. It is free, three and a half days, and occurs the first weekend in February. Parking is free and you can also tour DC when you're in town.

It’s worse than you think.

It would be crazy!!!

a bunch of people - most of whom are somewhat overweight - playing new "music" for the tuba in recitals, and everyone else making grumbling noises with other people's for sale Chinese tubas in the elephant room.

There might also be a panel discussion on "the future of tuba playing in the 21st ...

Perfect!!! :tuba:

Hey guys!

Please teach me about Tuba Conference, Festival and Workshop that happens in the United States.

When do they happen? Where do they happen?

I'm just wondering if you find a 19-in compensating E flat that you can buy direct from China, if you might just want to play the instrument as it is and see if that's going to satisfy you, and - if not - tear the valve section off of it and stick it on your York thing.
