By the way, the mouthpiece that came with the China tuba is not bad at all!

Re: Yamaclone F arrived!

Mouthpiece is a very individual thing and I don't know if my mouthpiece fits you. I play a custom-made mouthpiece, cup diameter 31.66mm, bore 8.1mm. the cup is relatively deep for an f tuba mouthpiece, the back bore is not extremely large. for this small f tuba I would prefer a mouthpiece with a ...

Re: Yamaclone culprit found(?)

I bought the same tuba in the same period and I have no problem with the valves on my tuba. I think you were just unlucky. but you can also have bad luck with expensive tubas. Example: I couldn't put the mouthpiece into the mouthpipe of a tuba because there was a giant ball of solder inside the ...

Yamaclone F incoming

Actually silver would be my first choice. but I'm not so sure how durable the coating on a china tuba is. Price for lacquered and unlacquered is the same. Yep, I am skeptical of the thickness of Chinese silver. I can always strip the lacquer if I need to. What modifications are you planning? I will ...
