arpthark's Summer 2026 mouthpiece clear-out

Post by arpthark »

The shelf is getting full...

I have a set of vintage, custom, gold-plated Schilke/Hammond skeletonized mouthpieces. I'd like $100/ea for these. These are smaller mouthpieces, best for bass tuba or maybe small contrabass. Make an offer on the set.

Image

L-R:
Schilke IFH 3
- Shallow funnel cup
- 7.2mm moderately flat rim, sharp inner edge
- Small throat
- 31.5mm ID

IFH 3* (star)
- Shallow funnel cup
- 7.5mm moderately flat rim, sharp inner edge
- Narrower throat
- 32mm ID
- Some plating loss on outside of cup/rim

Hammond (stamped, no Schilke marking but same shape as others)
- Medium funnel cup
- 7.2mm moderately flat rim, sharp inner edge
- Medium-ish throat, perhaps a hair larger than the IFH 3
- 31.5mm ID
- Some plating wear on shank
OUT ON TRIAL

Schilke Hammond (no number)
- Similar to Hammond above

====

Other stuff. Add $10 for CONUS shipping.

L-R:
Parke-Ofenloch, in good shape, one tiny spot of silver failure on the outer edge shows the copper strike underneath. Classic/vintage heavyweight piece. $250

Bach 18, in good shape, $35 SOLD

PT-88, in very good shape. Professionally engraved with previous owner's name ("Angel"). Own your own angelic PT-88! $75 SOLD

Vintage PT-50 with small lettering, lots of dings and nicks. Probably some kid's marching band mouthpiece. I was going to get this refinished but silver prices are pretty high. $40 SOLD

Vintage PT-64-S with small lettering. Classic bass tuba mouthpiece in good shape, standard/American shank, rim is too cushy for me. SOLD

Wessex 22L, gold plate with the plate failing on the rim to show silver underneath. $25

I also have a bunch of really old, scuffed, damaged mouthpieces that might be better used as paperweights or emergency glovebox mouthpieces. I would even feel bad including these as mouthpieces with tubas I'm selling because they are all in pretty rough condition. I would like $20/ea plus shipping. They include a B&S 24AW, a no-name 24AW, a no-name "18", things like that. I probably have six or seven. Let me know if you want some.

I can take the Bach 18, PT-88, and PT-50 off your hands.

My mouthpiece options currently are a couple Bach 24AWs and the clone of the TU23 that came with my TB162. My daughter swears by her Bach 18.
