The Parduba Model 73 Tuba Mouthpiece features John Parduba’s historic Double‑Cup design, developed to deliver exceptional clarity, efficiency, and tonal balance throughout the full tuba range. Introduced as part of Parduba’s long‑standing mouthpiece line dating back to the 1930s, the double‑cup concept uses two internal chambers to combine the benefits of both shallow and conventional cup designs in a single mouthpiece.
The Model 73 offers a full‑sized cup diameter (approx. 32.6 mm) paired with Parduba’s dual‑chamber structure. The upper, shallower cup promotes quicker response and improved efficiency, while the lower, deeper cup maintains a rich, resonant low register and a centered core sound. This balance allows players to articulate cleanly and sustain longer passages with less fatigue, without sacrificing warmth or projection.
