The CHI Brass Floyd Cooley 3 Heavyweight Tuba Mouthpiece combines the responsive, efficient playing characteristics of the Floyd Cooley 3 with the added stability, tonal density, and projection of a heavyweight exterior.
Developed from one of Floyd Cooley’s favorite mouthpieces, the FC3 combines the cup concept of that mouthpiece with Floyd’s distinctive rim design and a modern CHI Brass backbore. The result is an exceptionally efficient mouthpiece that provides clarity, flexibility, and a beautiful, focused sound.
The Heavyweight version adds additional exterior mass to create a more substantial tonal core, increased stability at louder dynamics, and enhanced projection. It retains the quick response and musical flexibility of the original FC3 while offering players a denser, more powerful sound.
Its combination of efficiency and tonal focus makes the FC3 Heavyweight particularly well suited to large piston F tubas and EEb tubas. It can also be an excellent choice on CC tuba when a player wants a more compact, focused, soloistic sound.
Every CHI Brass mouthpiece is manufactured to exacting standards in the U.S. with a focus on consistency, response, comfort, and tonal beauty. Developed in collaboration with leading performers and educators, CHI Brass mouthpieces are trusted by musicians around the world for their precision, reliability, and exceptional musical results.
The Floyd Cooley 3 Heavyweight provides the responsive and expressive playing experience of the FC3 with additional tonal weight and stability. For players who appreciate the efficiency and focused character of the Floyd Cooley 3 but want a denser core and greater projection, the Heavyweight version offers an outstanding balance of power, clarity, and musical flexibility.
