Robert Tucci RT-50 Tuba Mouthpiece Silver Plated

Up for purchase is a used Robert Tucci RT-50 Tuba Mouthpiece in bright silver plate. Designed by legendary tubist Bob Tucci (formerly of Perantucci), the RT-50 is widely recognized as one of the most popular, best-selling tuba mouthpieces in the world. Known among tubists as a true "power tool," it offers a broad, dark, and deeply resonant sound paired with effortless flexibility and response.

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 cup are smooth, clean, and comfortable, and the shank is straight and round. It has been thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and prepared for immediate play.

UNMATCHED VERSATILITY: FOR ANY BBb OR CC TUBA A major reason for the worldwide success of the RT-50 is its incredible versatility across different instruments and playing environments:

• All Horn Types: Performs exceptionally well on both BBb and CC tubas, whether you are playing a large-bore orchestral horn or a medium-large ensemble instrument.

• Concert Hall or Marching Field: Offers the rich, dark tonal core needed for orchestral and concert band settings while delivering the projection, stability, and power required for marching band and sousaphone performance.
