Robert Tucci RT-88 Tuba Mouthpiece Silver or Gold

Description

The Robert Tucci RT-88 tuba mouthpiece is one of the most reliable tools for tuba players that want to make BBb and CC tubas come alive!  The RT-88 has proven to be one of the best tools for helping tuba players achieve a wide dynamic range, master the low register, and produce clear articulations.
Robert Tucci developed the RT-88 as a mouthpiece for tuba players that wanted to create a solid foundation of the orchestra or band.  As instruments got bigger and better, the same was required for tuba mouthpieces.  The RT-88 was a great complement to a larger instrument, but it also became a great mouthpiece for younger tubists that struggled in the low register and were starting to out grow their beginner mouthpieces.
The RT-88 is a larger mouthpiece that gives the player a strong, reliable low register that responds well in very soft passages as well as extremely loud music.  The cup of the RT-88 is more bowl shaped which can give a BBb or CC tuba a wide range of tonal colors.  This is also a great mouthpiece for the tubist with large lips!
