have enjoyed success all over the world.
Single numbers (without "L") are for older makes of European
tubas with small mouthpiece fittings.
"L" models suit all modern instruments, especially German-type
designs.
"XL" models: Especially for the professional tuba player,
new mouthpieces have been introduced to give even more volume
and projection. They are a little more difficult to control,
but the extra effort repays dividends. The inner rim contours
are a little rounder for players who need to spend long hours
in practice or performance. Much research has gone into the
subtle reworking of the exterior shape to give even more powerful
maximum dynamics and volume in all registers.
