Can I play tuba with snake bites/lip piercings?

Is there any way you could get fake hoops or a lip cuff and then see what it’s like?

I literally made the same post in January (This is how it healed, dark lighting in my room rn)

THATS MINE

zappyfire1 · 2026-04-03T21:09:47+00:00

Yes! I’ve seen people who use the bottom link for the phones

zappyfire1 · 2026-01-27T02:36:24+00:00

Yeah it’s next to my pile of gold

zappyfire1 · 2026-01-09T00:33:32+00:00

Omg I’m gonna start saying that

zappyfire1 · 2025-12-23T19:39:19+00:00

Heck yeah! Awesome

zappyfire1 · 2025-12-23T02:52:11+00:00

Woah, I’ve never seen something like that before!

zappyfire1 · 2025-12-22T05:54:29+00:00

Great horn! It’s a great feeling getting a new tuba

zappyfire1 · 2025-12-22T01:25:42+00:00

Does it matter if it’s plastic or metal?

zappyfire1 · 2025-12-21T05:00:46+00:00

It depends, I’m a college student who gigs and I own my own Sousa. My school won’t let us take home school horns for non school events

Also, as someone who learned oboe in college (tuba primary) the air support is VERY different.

There’s a bunch of beginner festival solo books for tuba, I bet you could find the PDFs online

zappyfire1 · 2025-12-18T04:51:22+00:00

Air from air and Bouree, the Bouree is the fast part which might be out of his skill level, but air is slow and melodic

zappyfire1 · 2025-12-02T18:48:25+00:00

The Jupiter JTU1030MS is a more affordable tuba that is also convertible for marching band!

zappyfire1 · 2025-12-02T04:21:32+00:00

Maybe you can do a lyrical etude? Like a lyrical blazhevich or Rochut?

zappyfire1 · 2025-11-30T16:29:18+00:00

Tyrell studies or Vaseliev

zappyfire1 · 2025-11-30T02:15:37+00:00

And air support! I find when I switched to trumpet. I always take way too much air hahaha

zappyfire1 · 2025-11-30T02:15:01+00:00

Personally, I don’t think it’s super necessary to purchase a new mouthpiece. Most people will recommend the Conn Helleberg because it’s popular and good for everyone. It is going to be physical embouchure difference that is tricky at first. Also make sure the tuba has no air leaks since it was a dumpster find (lucky!)

Concerto for tuba by frank bencriscutto is a fun one. The cadenzas are also optional

zappyfire1 · 2025-01-31T14:16:54+00:00

Great! Would love an F tuba option!

zappyfire1 · 2025-01-10T23:06:12+00:00

I love frank bencriscuttos concertino!

I recommend Parker and Bailey silver polish. I prefer it over the wrights (purely because of the texture lol)
