My buddy Morris told me where to buy a mouthpiece ring, but I'll be damned if I can remember where that website was. Given the obvious enthusiasm demonstrated on this BBS for all things TUBA, I am sure that one of you gentlemen (or ladies) could lead me to the correct site. I think the ring costs about $35.00.

BTW, for me at least, this idea of focusing the air toward the center has made a tremendous difference in my playing over a short time. It has made playing in the middle register (middle line D to G) quite a bit more secure. The ring is supposed to help with this, provided that you use a mirror with it. I believe this method is attributable to Fritz Kenzig (sp?) at the University of Michigan, but who knows, it may have come from Arnold Jacobs.

Anyway, sorry to be long-winded. If anyone knows where the site is for the mouthpiece ring (including you Morris), let me know.
