Giddings Baer MMVI F and Bayamo

Post by Innocent Bystander »

I have two giddings mouthpieces for sale.

Baer MMVI F - £125. A good choice for those who like a larger Eb mouthpiece. To me, it seems to sit between a wick 3 and 2 or a bach 24aw and 18 in terms of size. Easy response and a tone which can blend easily but will sing out over the band if pushed. Rim and shank are excellent, but the laser engraving is very faded on this.

Bayamo - £150. A very large mouthpiece for BBb. Rim about the same size as a PT88 or Bach 7, but feels more open. This one is in excellent condition throughout.

Both have light insertion marks and are American shank - the type used on Besson Sovereigns and all compensated tubas, as well as many others. The maker seems often to send UK people the Euro shank - but Euro shank is too large for a compensated tuba and won't respond as well or play as in tune as these. I've played a couple of Euro shank ones on Eb and BBb, and the American shank ones are like a different and improved mouthpiece.

I can't work out how to add images, but email me on dannystone at duck dot com and I'll send some over.

The two together for £210.

I'll hear out reasonable offers. Delivery is included in the price.

Just to clarify, UK only?

Not interested but wanted to avoid confusion for others.
