Mouthpieces for sale:
Canadian Brass Arnold Jacobs Heavyweight, Gold. Built by Terry Warburton. Unusual mouthpiece in near new conditon. Minor marks on shank only. Rim, depth, and throat/backbore are exactly the same as a regular Jacobs mouthpiece. The shank will NOT fit the newer (modern) large receivers (Meinl Weston CC tubas, etc.) Doug Elliott's website has a good deal of information regarding shank sizes. If you are unsure of what size receiver your tuba has, either email me or check Doug Elliott's website at dougelliottmouthpieces.com
Due to several emails regarding shank size the last time I posted, here is what I have found out:
The shank is intermidate in terms of size. I believe that it is probably about the same size as a standard Doug Elliott or M shank. That information was copied and pasted below:
I believe this shank size is about the same as PT small “S” shank and Wick “L” shanks. It should fit most Besson, Bohm & Meinl, Conn, Holton, Jupiter, King, Martin, Marzan, Meinl-Weston smaller models, Musica, Olds, Reynolds, Yamaha smaller models, York smaller models
"M" fits most OLDER Mirafone 184, 185, 186, 188; also fits some other European tubas
Also, Mike Finn MF-1, Silver. Like new conditon. This mouthpiece is a heavy design also.
Trades considered. Email off list if interested.
Thanks!
