The Canadian Brass Heritage Collection

It all began with the Arnold Jacobs mouthpiece!

Surely the most sophisticated tuba mouthpiece ever; it was elegant in design while live and responsive. Long time students of preeminent teacher and performer Arnold Jacobs, the CB re-created his original tuba mouthpiece.

In compliment this wonderful mouthpiece the Canadian Brass are proud to present four new mouthpieces developed by Robert Tucci, a student of Arnold Jacobs and one of the world's most experienced and prolific mouthpiece designers. These reflect the great heritage of our teacher, Arnold M. Jacobs, his enormous influence on modern brasswind performance, his unique concept of tone and his constant search for refinement in tonal quality, dynamic range and efficiency. These mouthpieces accommodate the progress made in pedagogy, instruments and contemporary concepts. They are advanced, even adventurous by nature, to access new dimensions of sound and versatility. Arnold Jacobs used different mouthpieces depending on the repertoire at hand. The new Canadian Brass Heritage  mouthpieces build on his concepts, with a greater choice of cup widths.
All Heritage Series mouthpieces offer a rich and colorful sound coupled with fast response and exceptional flexibility.
