Sérgio Carolino Signature Collection

The CHI Brass Sérgio Carolino Signature Series was developed in collaboration with internationally renowned tubist Sérgio Carolino.

Rather than reproducing one of Sérgio's previous mouthpieces, the CHI designs combine proven CHI concepts with new cup designs developed specifically for the series.

All Sérgio Carolino Signature mouthpieces undergo a special manufacturing treatment designed to enhance tonal color, resonance and response.

Sérgio Carolino CC1

Powerful Contrabass Sound with Exceptional Flexibility

The CC1 combines the comfortable CHI Jacobs 2 rim contour with an extra-deep Geib-style cup.

The design produces a large, resonant low register while maintaining even tonal quality throughout the instrument. Despite the substantial cup volume, response remains quick and the Jacobs 2 rim provides excellent flexibility.
