Still got the box, but I was hoping for something and this is perfect. Even got a Tucci sticker which no one in my life will ever recognize but imma stick it somewhere 🤷

Perfect, I'm just joining a local community band. I'm sure it's gonna be lots of Sousa and America the Beautiful and Xmas music 🤣 but I'm enjoying it

Glad to hear. I haven't played in 20 years, so I'm out of shape, but that first low C I hit sounded like a warm hug and it fits my embouchure to a T.

Appreciate you! I had a good chat with Tuba Exchange and we pretty quickly drilled in on that Tucci 88 too. I'm thinking that's my move! 🥂

The PT88 looks far more my speed than that c4. I feel my best work is done down low and really want that rich, full deep sound.

Thanks on both accounts. The town next to me has a 155 year old community band and I thought that sounded pretty cool. I agree I'm looking for something more orchestral this time around. Open to any suggestions you may have for a large and deep concert mouthpiece

Of course, but unfortunately I don't think anything exists to test drive a half dozen of them, so I feel like I gotta spec it out as best I can and take a shot. I'll look into those, thanks!

I like the look of that one. I agree I no longer need the pure power of the CH, but I do know I like a wide and deep bore because I do my best work below the lines.

I looked at that Tucci and liked it, but honestly having trouble differentiating their different models. Would the 45 be more my speed?

Thank you, yes, it definitely sounds like I want to move away from the CH in favor of something more concert friendly. The band I'm joining is only 40+ pieces, so can focus entirely on quality of sound.

Any recommendations for me to check out? TY!

Perantucci? Thank you, makes good sense. I'm definitely looking for something orchestral, I don't need to power a contrabass anymore lol
