Denis Wick Aaron Tindall AT1U Mouthpiece

Very large funnel with straight walls in the cup. Large throat. The rim, designed by Warren Deck, is one of the most comfortable rims ever made, featuring just the right amount of width and bite to give the player a sense of comfort and stability.

Original lead-pipes from Meinl-Weston, B & S, Yamaha, Eastman, and Miraphone were used in this process. The exact matching of mouthpiece, instrument receiver, and leadpipe is vital to achieve the correct response from modern tubas.

We recommend:

ATU - European Shank

• Meinl Weston Tubas
• Alexander Tubas
• Hirsbrunner Tubas
• Eastman York 836 Tuba (if desired)
• Miraphone 1293 CC tuba fitted with the Euro shank receiver

ATUY - American Shank

• For most all F tubas
• B & S Tubas (CC and F)
• Yamaha Tubas
• Miraphone Tubas
• Eastman Tubas (632, 832, 836 CC and F tuba models too)
• Besson Eb Tubas

Aaron Tindall said:

I feel that upon trying these new models, the performer will immediately notice an increased sense of improved articulation, intonation, greater endurance, and significantly enhanced power in both the high and low registers. Along with these comes an ease of playing accompanied by a richer, broader, truer sound that we believe is currently unmatched by many of the other competitors in today’s market.

This new mouthpiece, designed by Aaron Tindall, is the largest of the range and is designed for use in big CC or Bbb tubas. It has straight walls after the rim leading to a very wide funnel-shaped cup with a large throat. The rim, designed by Warren Deck, is one of the most comfortable on the market. It features just the right amount of width and bite to give the player a sense of comfort and stability.

This mouthpiece is for strong players and produces a massive deep sound.
