Bora Tuba Mouthpiece – Warm, Blending Power for Chamber & Ensemble

Inner Rim Diameter: 1.255" | Throat: .318" | Cup Depth: Medium-Deep Bowl


Named after the mighty Bora — that cold, powerful northerly wind that sweeps dramatically from the Hungarian basin across the Adriatic Sea — this mouthpiece channels focused strength into a warmer, larger sound that's perfect for blending seamlessly in chamber music, quintets, and small to medium-large ensembles. Our medium-size F/Eb design strikes the ideal balance: bigger and warmer than the sparkling Churada, with a medium-deep bowl that delivers rich, centered tone, excellent projection, and smooth legato for intimate settings. The .318" throat provides controlled airflow for easy blending, secure slotting, and fatigue-free endurance — letting you lock into the group sound while still standing out when needed.

Why the Bora becomes your chamber essential:

  • Warm, expansive tone — Larger, richer sound that blends beautifully in ensembles and quintets
  • Perfect balance — Warmer and fuller than the Churada, ideal for small to medium groups without overpowering
  • Smooth & responsive — Medium-deep cup + smart throat for effortless articulation, legato, and dynamic control
  • Blending magic — Projects warmly while sitting perfectly in the mix — great for chamber, brass quintets, or ensemble work
  • All-day comfort — Hypoallergenic stainless steel and balanced rim keep you playing strong and relaxed

If you're seeking that warm, cohesive F/Eb voice for chamber magic and ensemble blend — the Bora delivers the power and warmth to make every line sing. Strong like the wind it's named for, yet perfectly controlled. Your F/Eb just found its ideal partner for intimate, expressive playing. The Bora is for warmth and flow!
