Smile LOUD Mouthpiece for Sale


Register or Login to Remove this Ad
LOUD Mouthpiece LM-7 for sale. Used for one year, but the stainless steel is still in amazing condition. Putting it up on ebay soon, but just wanted to see if anyone wanted to buy it here. List price is $145, I will sell for $100 or best offer.

"Specs:

CUP CHARACTERISTICS: Deep Cup, unique throat design extends well into shank.
RIM CHARACTERISTICS: Width 7.48mm. Inner diameter - 32.6 standard.
Optional screw rims 32mm, 33.2mm.
THROAT BORE: 8.35 mm.

Model LM-7 is a lethal weapon! Our most popular tuba mouthpiece! A medium diameter rim with a deep cup and an open backbore. The cup is very similar to a Schilke Helleberg II. The rim is slightly rounded for comfort, but still has a strong inner edge for crystal clear articulations. Welcome to a massive sound that projects in any situation and stays true to the sound of the tuba - Strong and Powerful!"

Crystal clear articulation is an understatement! More like razor sharp (the intonation -- not the rim contour)! Also, the throat and backbore make the slotting really, really tight, so you really have to "ride throttle" on your valve slides.

I tried one on my 186 and it sounded great. If I were an orchestra player instead of a band player, and was keeping up with a wire choir, the LM-7 would definitely be on my short list.

This is a good deal for this mouthpiece. I wish I had an application for it.

great mouthpieces somebody get this. i play on the LM-10 Tommy Johnson series. Joe Murphy was my lesson teacher but more like a mentor to me now. the man knows his stuff when it comes to mouthpieces. also if you guys did not catch it comes with detachable rims so you have all types of possibilities and flexibility when it comes to playing different genres and styles of music. also with it being stainless steel they have so much mass it is incredible. i have had mine for two years now and it still looks beautiful!

Hey CaptainFiber -- before you go getting concerned about "popular" rims, is there anything about the stock rim that you particularly don't like? It is a good rim, and if I were to use an LM-7 on a regular basis, I would use its own rim. The only reason to change rims is if it is just so uncomfortable that it makes focusing a problem, or if your tuba playing is at a particular stage that you have been able to determine an actual preference for a particular rim that better fits your playing.

In other words, for the meantime, use the stock rim. Its size and profile offer a good blend of comfort and precision.
