Tony Clements TCLEMSOLOMPC Clements Solo Tuba Mouthpiece
Notes from Tony:
SOLO (1.30”) – I made this mouthpiece because of the demands of many solo works. This mouthpiece is nearly identical to the UTILITY, exfept that the throat is more open and the cup is slightly shallower. With the shallow cup, this mouthpiece has exceptional projection qualities. I’ve used this mouthpiece on the MW Norm Pearson F, Yamaha 641 F, Miraphone 180 F, Alex 163 & Gronitz PCM CCs and the Gronitz FZ & Dehmal F’s. Works played on this mouthpiece are Bydlo, Gregson Concerto, Morning Song, Bach E-flat Sonata, and Fantastique. If you want to pop out a high Bb, this mouthpiece will make it happen.
I designed these mouthpieces because I wanted to try to get different results from the same mouthpiece. What I have done is taken an old Miraphone C4, and duplicated the rim. I then made the four mouthpieces using BASICALLY the same rim on each; they are slightly curved and cushioned. Further, I made them all heavy walled, as I liked the feel of the extra metal on the mouthpiece, rather like the Monet, R&S Helleberg, Mike Finn and the Deck. If you go back and forth between these mouthpieces, your chops won’t feel the difference, but because of their different construction, different results will be afforded with little effort. Each mouthpiece is heavily silver plated.
