I started playing tuba in college over 30 years ago. After leaving college I really didn’t play much, mostly because I did not have access to a horn. About 4 years ago, I purchased a used Yamaha YBB-641. I was still playing on the same mouthpiece I learned with 30 years ago, a Bach 25. Thanks to the generous 30-day return policy, I could try multiple mouthpieces. Before placing my order, I reached out to Professor Mouthpiece for some advice. Initially, I had planned to try the Robert Tucci RT-50, the Robert Tucci RT-88, and the Laskey 32B. Jerome encouraged me to try the Robert Tucci’s and recommended the Laskey 32G instead for my rotary valve tuba. He also suggested I try the Liberation Mr. P 5.0 Signature. I took his advice and ordered the RT-50, RT-88, Lackey 32G, and Mr. P 5.0. Shipping was super fast and the mouthpieces were well-packaged. By the end of the 30 days, I found the Mr. P 5.0 to be the easiest to play of the four. Centering the pitch seemed easier, articulations were clear and the tone was consistent from the low through the high register. I was also impressed with the RT-88 which provided a wonderful full tone producing a throaty ”bark” in the lower register but requiring a large amount of airflow. Ultimately, I decided to keep the Mr. P 5.0 AND the RT-88. I intend to use the Mr. P 5.0 daily while experimenting and building my airflow with the RT-88. The return process for the RT-50 and the 32G could not have been easier. Thanks Jerome for all your help!

Meant for an F tuba, works well on a Bb tuba though. The 32.5 mm rim allows for an open cavity and fat low notes, combined with the slightly sharp inner part of the rim have a good seal with the lips and mouthpiece. The shape of the cup makes it easy to play on and notes are effortless compared to other pieces I’ve used. I recommend this piece for any intermediate/advanced player as it isn’t very beginner friendly, because the effortlessness of playing gives a variable tone quality and new players may sound bad.

I don't really think of myself as a large mouthpiece guy, but these big Laskeys sound great and are surprisingly easy to play. I had a hard time choosing between the 32H and the 32G, but I went with the G because perhaps articulation was a tad clearer. I love these in my 6/4 tubas – they maximize the size of the sound without sacrificing clarity or beauty. The Euro shank is perfect for my Nirschl. The American seems better for my Meinl Westons. So, I bought two.

Great mouthpiece, great price. Great response with a solid, clear tone, I really like the RT-50 in my 4/4 CC tubas.

My son's teacher recommended this for him--he was having a tough time hitting some high register notes. This mouthpiece is amazing, the first time he put it on his tuba he was able to play an F4 (D4 has been the top of his range, and even that was pretty inconsistent). He really likes how it performs in the low register too--he says his tone is much richer.

I LOVE THIS MOUTHPIECE!!! I’ve been playing on it every day for the past year and it’s worth its weight in gold! Plays great throughout the registers and lays a clean foundation under any band or orchestra! I’ve never had any issues playing lyrically or technically with this mouthpiece! Articulations are a breeze!

The mouthpiece works beautifully with the sousaphone. I’m excited about performing at our upcoming events with the brand new shiny mouthpiece .

Hello, I hope everyone is well! I have been a perantucci user for over 10 years, my orchestra colleagues and I here in Brazil decided to give the Robert Tucci mouthpiece a try, so far it has been a pleasant surprise, everyone liked it, I intend to buy other Robert Tucci measures soon to have a diverse nozzle setup. I appreciate all the support on the website and also the speed of delivery. I recommend!

I’m a second year jr tuba player in my high school with the aspirations to be a professional tubist, as such I’ve wanted a mouthpiece that fits me and I can settle down on. This mouthpiece fits this role so well! It provides amazing Clarity and tone. I had just came off of a mouthpiece that I had been playing on for upwards of a year, and the very first notes that i played on this mouthpiece were already leagues ahead of anything I’d been playing on prior, it’s so comfortable and would definitely be my top recommendation for anyone that likes heavier mouthpieces but still appreciates easy clarity and amazing comfort.

This was a great upgrade for me. Highly recommend for players of bigger tubas going into college or in college. However do keep in mind this is a very large mouthpiece compared to other similar ones so if you are coming from something smaller like a Hellenberg this is may feel like a big difference.

I bought this for a Miraphone Elektra. The small shank version is best for my tuba. Now, on to the mouthpiece... Wow! Just a beautiful, easy sound that is even from low to high. It brings out the right overtones at all volumes and has a complexity to the sound that is very noticeable when compared to other mouthpieces. I find register shifts easier and more confident. The rim is very comfortable as well. This is a very good match for me and my tuba. Thanks, Professor Mouthpiece!
