The Robert Tucci RT-88L Middle Weight Tuba Mouthpiece is designed for tubists who want a powerful, resonant sound paired with excellent control and responsiveness. Known for its wide, deep cup and well-defined inner rim, the RT-88L is based on the RT-88 which is very popular worldwide.
The RT-88L works well with any contrabass tuba and can be especially effective on modern tubas that are larger. When you really need a massive sound and the ultimate control of the low register, the 88L is a sure thing.
Tuba players that prefer larger mouthpieces will also enjoy the the comfort provided by the RT-88L.
This model is the middle weight of the RT-88 family which is now available in four distinct weight options to match a player’s preferred feel and response:
-
RT-88: Standard / Lightest weight
-
RT-88L: Medium weight version of the classic RT-88
-
RT-88+: Heavy weight
-
RT-88 Maxx: Extra-heavy weight
As the weight of each RT-88 mouthpiece increases, so does its potential volume, with the RT-88 Maxx delivering the most powerful projection. The player also has more flexibility to fine-tune many other aspects such as attack clarity, resonance, and stability.
