Giddings Stainless Steel Tuba Mouthpiece
$195.00 $290.00
Item Details
These beautiful tuba mouthpieces are made in Puget Sound, Washington by Ivan Giddings. Made of surgical grade stainless steel, these create no risk of lead exposure or brass or silver allergies. There is no finish to wear off, and the harder metal will help amplify your sound like no other mouthpiece. Each original design has a unique outer shape. Finish may vary, polished or matte, I don't know the pattern for how he chooses one or the other. For special requests please contact me directly.
