Description
Arnold Jacobs had Adjustable Cup tuba mouthpieces made for him. He used these to fine tune the character of the sound for a particular piece of music. The CHIBrass Arnold Jacobs Adjustable cup mouthpiece is an exact handmade precision copy of the one Mr Jacobs gave to his assistant, Brian Frederiksen. This reproduction is a joint project with CHIBrass and Windsong Press to make it available to others and continue passing on Jacobs’ legacy of teaching, artistry, innovation and brass playing philosophy. Each Adjustable Cup Mouthpiece is made by hand, one at a time, by a master craftsman in the U.S.
