Up for purchase is a used Robert Tucci Sousapower 5 (SP5) Tuba and Sousaphone Mouthpiece in silver plate. Designed by master tubist Bob Tucci (formerly of Perantucci), the Sousapower series is world-renowned for combining heavy-shell construction with effortless open-blowing acoustics for incredible resonance and projection.
Please note: The Sousapower 5 is directly based on the legendary Robert Tucci RT-50 / RT-50+ design—offering that same popular large-diameter cup and rim profile, but optimized with a heavy-shell weight for maximum core sound, projection, and power.
This mouthpiece is in good pre-owned condition with normal signs of wear from standard everyday use. This includes light insertion marks on the shank and minor cosmetic handling marks on the silver plating. The rim contour and playing cup are smooth, clean, and comfortable, and the shank is true and round. It has been thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and prepared for immediate play.
VERSATILITY: PERFECT FOR SOUSAPHONE & CONCERT TUBA While engineered with the power needed for outdoor marching and sousaphones, the Sousapower 5 is equally exceptional on seated concert tubas (BBb and CC) in concert band, brass band, and orchestral settings:
For Sousaphones & Marching Tuba: The heavy-shell mass and open throat cut through field noise effortlessly, delivering massive volume, rich fundamentals, and maximum projection without choking or forcing air.
For Concert Tuba: Unlike traditional mouthpieces that can sound harsh when pushed, the SP5 provides a warm, deeply resonant, room-filling sound with exceptional stability in both the pedal register and high range.
