The Mr. P 8.8H tuba mouthpiece by Liberation is designed by Daniel Perantoni, Professor of Music at the distinguished Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. Also known as Mr. P, Perantoni has been in the mouthpiece business for several decades and the 8.8H is the modern version of an earlier very successful design. The Mr. P Signature tuba mouthpieces have been engineered for better response, ease of playability, and a centered, focused sound.
The Mr. P 8.8H has the same cup and rim as the Mr. P 8.8 which is the most popular large bowl shaped tuba mouthpiece in the Mr. P Signature line. It is especially designed to allow more facility and better response in the low register. The Geib style cup will allow more overtones to be emphasized while still emphasizing a strong fundamental. Mr. P has also designed a sharper rim for better flexibility and more overall weight for power. The only difference is that the 8.8H has added weight for more power and projection.
Specifications: 33mm/1.29in inner diameter/large, bowl shaped cup
Depending on inventory levels, the Mr. P mouthpiece you receive may be labeled "Mr. P Signature - Potenza Music". This model is exactly the same as "Liberation" but has the former distributor's label.
