Yamaha BB-Neo67D4 Tuba Mouthpiece - Silver Plated | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha BB-Neo67D4 is a professional-grade tuba mouthpiece engineered specifically for Eb tubas, delivering exceptional tonal richness and warmth through its innovative cup design. Based on the acclaimed BB-66D4 with refined dimensions, this silver-plated mouthpiece features a 31.8mm inner rim diameter and semi-deep cup that produces outstanding sonority across all registers. Whether performing in orchestral settings, concert bands, or solo recitals, the BB-Neo67D4 provides the resonant, focused tone and comfortable playability that advanced tubists demand.
Product Overview
Crafted with precision using Yamaha's advanced manufacturing techniques, the BB-Neo67D4 features a durable silver-plated finish that ensures smooth articulation and consistent response. The 31.8mm inner rim diameter provides a comfortable playing surface that balances stability for extended performances with flexibility for expressive dynamics. The semi-flat rim contour supports endurance during demanding passages while maintaining precise control for technical work.
The semi-deep cup design represents a thoughtful evolution of the classic BB-66D4 cup shape, optimized to bring out the full tonal potential of Eb tubas. This carefully engineered cup depth produces a rich, warm fundamental tone with excellent projection and clarity in the middle and upper registers. The cup geometry enhances harmonic complexity without sacrificing the focused core sound that professional tubists require for both ensemble blend and solo work.
The mouthpiece's 8.87mm throat diameter and semi-wide backbore work in concert to provide balanced airflow and resistance. This bore configuration allows for easy response in the low register while maintaining stability and control in the upper range. The semi-wide backbore opens up the sound for fuller resonance and improved projection, making it ideal for large concert halls and outdoor performances where tonal presence is essential.
