Canadian Brass MB-88 Tuba Mouthpiece

The Canadian Brass MB-88 is a premier large-cup tuba mouthpiece engineered to deliver effortless low-register response, massive projection, and unmatched tonal depth. Inspired by the performance principles of legendary tubist Arnold Jacobs, the MB-88 provides the immense volume and stability required for heavy orchestral repertoire and large brass ensembles without sacrificing flexibility.

Key Performance Features

• Balanced Shell Weight: Delivers a nimble, immediate response and fluid flexibility rarely found in mouthpieces of this volume.
