Schilke SH Standard Series Tuba Mouthpiece - Silver Plated | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls

The Schilke SH Standard Series Tuba Mouthpiece delivers exceptional clarity and darkness through its unique "Schilke-Helleberg" design specifically engineered for professional tuba performance. This specialized mouthpiece features a 31.84mm diameter with distinctive rim contour that differs from standard configurations, producing a clear and dark sound that makes it an ideal choice for BBb, CC, Eb, and F tubas (including sousaphones) requiring standard large shank mouthpieces for demanding orchestral, wind ensemble, and solo performance applications.

Product Overview

The SH mouthpiece represents Schilke's commitment to innovative tuba mouthpiece design, incorporating the proven "Schilke-Helleberg" model specifications that deliver distinctive tonal characteristics through a unique rim contour configuration. The 31.84mm (1.253") diameter provides optimal airflow and resonance properties for large bore tuba instruments, while the 21/64" (0.3281") throat ensures excellent projection and control for serious tuba players. This design continues the legacy established by former Chicago Symphony principal trumpet player Renold O. Schilke, whose innovative vision has influenced generations of professional brass performers worldwide, including the specialized demands of tuba performance.

The distinctive rim contour that sets the SH apart from other models creates acoustic properties that enhance both clarity and darkness in the tuba's sound production, providing the unique combination of definition and warmth that professional tuba players seek for expressive musical performance. The standard large shank configuration ensures optimal fit and acoustic coupling with BBb, CC, Eb, and F tubas, making this mouthpiece particularly effective for musicians who perform across multiple tuba types and require consistent performance characteristics.

Schilke's precision manufacturing and systematic approach to mouthpiece design has made their Standard Series the choice of serious tuba players who demand excellence in both tonal production and mechanical reliability. The SH's proven specifications deliver the clear and dark sound that defines professional tuba performance while maintaining the consistency and quality that have made Schilke mouthpieces trusted by today's finest performers.
