Tempest Tuba Mouthpiece

Ultimate All-Purpose Mouthpiece – The Everyday Performer
Comfortable Rim + Medium Deep Funnel Cup | Premium Stainless Steel.

This mouthpiece was built from the ground up to do it all — and do it exceptionally well. We took the sweet spot of comfort, tone, and response, then fine-tuned every detail so it feels effortless and inspiring no matter who’s playing or what style they’re tackling.

• Super-comfortable rim — Wide enough for security, contoured for all-day support, and gentle on the chops so beginners stay relaxed and pros forget they're even there during long gigs.
• Medium deep funnel cup — Delivers a rich, warm core tone with beautiful resonance and color, while keeping the sound focused and centered — perfect for lyrical playing, big band power, or classical clarity.
• Perfectly matched throat & backbore — Instant response, smooth airflow, and easy slotting across the entire range. Highs open up without strain, lows stay full and dark, and everything in between feels natural and musical.
• Fun, accessible, and forgiving — Designed so players of all ages and levels can pick it up and sound great right away. Whether you're a student building fundamentals, a gigging musician covering every genre, or a hobbyist who just wants to enjoy playing — this mouthpiece makes every session feel rewarding.

Stainless steel construction gives you that signature Giddings efficiency: maximum energy transfer from your buzz, vibrant projection, and durability that lasts. No more fighting the equipment — just pure, joyful playing. This isn't a niche specialist; it's the reliable partner that covers more ground than most players will ever need — from warm ballads to bright marches, small combos to large ensembles. One mouthpiece, endless possibilities, and a ton of fun. If you're looking for that "just works" piece that makes you smile every time you play — this is it. Versatile, comfortable, and seriously capable.
