YamahaStandard Tuba Mouthpiece 68B
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Yamaha's standard tuba mouthpiece in the 68B size, matched to a Schilke 69C4. A step up from an unmarked stock mouthpiece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who already know the 69C4 size and want a spare
- School and community band tubists replacing a worn mouthpiece
- Anyone wanting a known size reference before chasing custom pieces
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need Helleburg-size depth and volume
- F tuba specialists — the 67B4 is the shallower piece here
- Anyone hunting an exact Bach 25 or Bach 22 feel
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Sits above the 67 (Bach 22) in this line
You can move a size at a time within one family instead of relearning another brand's rim shape.
Detail 03
66 and 66B are the Helleburg sizes
If the 68B feels small or thin on a big BBb, the 66 is the wider, deeper step in the same range.
Detail 04
67B4 is the shallow F tuba piece
The 68B is not the F tuba option. Doubling players usually want a separate, shallower mouthpiece for F.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch, case or cleaning brush
- 02Check the shank seats properly in your tuba's receiver before playing
- 03Allow two weeks to adjust; low brass mouthpiece changes take time
