Taku Tuba Mouthpiece – Deep, Dark, & Devastatingly Versatile
Inner Rim Diameter: 1.295" | Throat: .325" | Cup Depth: Deep Funnel
Named after the ferocious Taku wind — that hurricane-force east-northeast gust roaring through Juneau, Alaska, at the mouth of the Taku River from October to March — this mouthpiece unleashes a depth of tone that's pure black-on-black darkness in the dead of night. Same rim and deep funnel cup as the Williwaw, but with a maxed-out backbore and venturi that floods your sound with shadowy, velvety richness and massive low-end authority. The Taku perfectly fills the sweet spot between the Bayamo and Williwaw: you get the warm, projecting soul you love from the Bayamo, but in a slightly smaller, easier-to-control 1.295" rim. Darker and deeper than the Williwaw, it delivers a warm, enveloping tuba tone that balances perfectly against strong trombone sections while still cutting through any ensemble with effortless power.
Why the Taku is a player favorite and do-it-all legend:
If you crave that profound, midnight-black tuba sound with total versatility and control — the Taku is your storm. Deep. Warm. With the dark sweet sound we love tuba for.
We carefully pack every mouthpiece to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. Orders are processed within 1–2 business days and shipped with tracking provided once dispatched.
If you're not completely satisfied, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Items must be unused and in original condition.

are made from the finest surgical Stainless Steel and Titanium available
Mouthpiece is very well made and came in good time.but unfortunately I had chosen a size just a little too small in the rim, so not using this.
Taku is an outstanding choice! Great comfort for long practice sessions. Produces a warm, rich tone that is consistent across all registers. Excellent response and articulation and versatile for many different styles. An exceptional investment. Strongly recommended for both professional and student musicians.
