Up for purchase is a used Robert Tucci Sousapower 3 (SP3) Tuba and Sousaphone Mouthpiece in silver plate. Designed by master tubist Bob Tucci, the Sousapower series combines heavy-shell exterior weighting with precision interior geometry to maximize sound output, projection, and register stability.
This mouthpiece is in good pre-owned condition with normal, light signs of daily use (standard insertion marks on the shank and minor cosmetic handling marks on the finish). The rim contour and cup remain smooth, clean, and comfortable, and the shank is true and round. It has been thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and prepared for its next owner.
TRADITIONAL SOUND WITH CONCERT VERSATILITY The Sousapower 3 is celebrated for delivering that classic, traditional "brassy" sound profile that tubists and section leaders look for on marching horns, while remaining highly capable in the concert hall:
Classic Sousaphone Sound: Offers a vibrant, bright, and cutting acoustic presence with crisp articulation—giving sousaphones and marching tubas that authentic, room-filling brassy punch that carries clearly outdoors.
Concert Tuba Compatibility: Works exceptionally well on seated BBb and CC concert tubas, providing players with an effortless response, clear slotting, and enhanced high-register security for ensemble playing.
