I play in a marching band in N.C. and our sousaphones, are like a mixed bag of parts. Some are new, some are old, but they all have the same problem. The bits that connect the neck to our mouthpiece frequently get stuck to our mouthpiece, which makes it hard for us to use the mouthpieces for our tubas. Does anyone know foolproof techniques to seperate them? This would be a great tip that would help us enormously. Thank you.
