Excuse me while I freak out !....( 60's term for great excitement!)....I can't believe that this mouthpiece has finally been made !! A mouthpiece that is very even in response and articulation throughout dynamics and registers...a mouthpiece with a system to let you Dial In halls during soundchecks! No more fear of tuba clarity in large church acoustics !
