[Trombone-l] Bass Trombone & Tuba Mouthpieces For Sale

[Gabriel Langfur]

It’s time for me to thin the collection, and I need some cash. Buy more than one mouthpiece at the prices I ask, and I’ll pick up shipping. Otherwise, $5 s/h for each.
All the reference new prices are either from the manufacturer or from Dillon Music.

Bass Trombone:
Schilke Symphony D6.0 $80
Schilke Symphony M6.0 $80
                      Together  $150
 The D6.0 is the new improved version of the classic Schilke 60, with a shorter, Morse taper shank, and slightly redesigned rim, throat and backbore. It responds more evenly around the instrument and has a greater depth and richness of sound. The M6.0 is the same but with a shallower cup, for situations when a more brilliant projection is needed. These are both slightly used and the factory plating is not perfect, but they are in excellent playing shape. They cost at least $100 each new.

Giddings & Webster Don Harwood model  $135
 This mouthpiece almost got me off my Laskey. It feels great on the skin and responds great. Basically, it’s a Schilke 60 size mouthpiece, and one of the best I’ve played in that size range. $149.95 new. This one is perfect, just like new.

Joseph Klier Exclusive 02AK  $40
 Very comfortable wide rim approximately the diameter of a 60, medium cup, fairly lightweight outer design. This mouthpiece responds really well and sounds very lively. $49.95 new, excellent condition.

Rims & Cups with threads for the Doug Elliott LB system:
LB 114W rim, silverplate   $30
Copy of Ferguson LS rim   $40
Stork Custom 1.5 underpart   $50
Stork Custom 1.5+ underpart   $50 
 (more bowl-shaped cup)
Stork Custom 1.5S lightweight blank  $50
Stork Custom (Custom-made for me)   $40
 (like the 1.5+ but deeper and with a larger throat – plating wear)
Jeff Reynolds L underpart   $90
                                Total:  $350
                                          $325 takes the lot
I played these Stork Customs for a while, and they treated me well. The cups are in the Schilke 59 depth range, with a nice warm sound and great response.

Tuba Mouthpieces
Conn Helleberg 7B with light goldplating $40
 Excellent condition, $46.95 new silverplated

Curry 120D  $80
 Great doubler’s mouthpiece – very small ID at rim, deep cup. Excellent condition, $100 new

Schilke 66  $35
 Small Helleberg-style mouthpiece, copied from one of the originals. My receiver cut a small groove in this shank for some reason, but the rim is perfect. $46.95 new

Joseph Klier Exclusive 7B   $45
 Another great doubler’s mouthpiece, about 31mm ID at the rim, medium cup, surprisingly big warm sound. Excellent condition, $59.95 new.

I know I own a couple of others that I couldn’t quite put my hands on today, so keep watching here – I may still add a mouthpiece or three.
