Tony Clements TCLEMORCH Clements Tuba Orchestra Mouthpiece
Notes from Tony:
ORCHESTRA (1.32”) – I made this deep mouthpiece to play large orchestra works (with 10-12 cellos and 8-9 basses) and situations where I wanted maximum fundamental and the broadest sound I could get. This model works well with the largest 6/4 tubas. I have had great success with this mouthpiece on the Yorkbrunner, the Gronitz PCK &PCM, Eastman 6/4 CC, my 6450 Baer, Wessex Prokofiev and the 164 Alexander. Several clients have purchased this mouthpiece for use with the Miraphone 191 and the 1291 with excellent results.
I designed these mouthpieces because I wanted to try to get different results from the same mouthpiece. What I have done is taken an old Miraphone C4, and duplicated the rim. I then made the four mouthpieces using BASICALLY the same rim on each; they are slightly curved and cushioned. Further, I made them all heavy walled, as I liked the feel of the extra metal on the mouthpiece, rather like the Monet, R&S Helleberg, Mike Finn and the Deck. If you go back and forth between these mouthpieces, your chops won’t feel the difference, but because of their different construction, different results will be afforded with little effort. Each mouthpiece is heavily silver plated.
