Overview

Large shank tuba mouthpiece.

The DW3186 Heritage Series tuba mouthpieces feature a deep, V-type funnel shaped Helleberg style cup combined with added mass near the throat and backbore provides a rich, even and focused sound. The upper walls and rim are thinned to compensate for the added mass. The result is easier articulation in the upper register with a colorful tonal response. From solo literature to large ensemble performance, the Heritage tuba mouthpieces meet the requirements of every musical style. The DW3186 Heritage mouthpieces are available in dual plate, with a silver plate exterior and a 23k gold plate on the rim, interior cup and backbore of the mouthpiece.
