Anyone tried these?? They look heavy but looks can be deceiving.

There is an old thread on them, made in the UK quality mouthpieces

I know the Euph & Tuba versions and the bass one ones are catching on

Both Carl &George are tuba players from the British brass band scene

Tried the 2G NV copy, found it unfocused and poor slotting. Sent it back on their trial system for full refund.

Helpful customer service but pieces are not for me.

The Symington 2 and 1.5 work much better - focused and stable in all registers <EMOJI seq="1f44d" tseq="1f44d">👍</EMOJI>

They are making great inroads in the British brass band community for sure. They have been exhibiting fairly consistently at many of the recent events including the Army tuba/euph conference and the recent NABBA competition.

They certainly don't stop spamming Facebook!

I've been curious how they play, but they don't have any mouthpieces in the sizes I play (27.8-28.5mm), and "the beast" is too big

Those mouthpieces look HUGE. They make the Ferguson Minick replicas look small. I also don't get how "The Beast" bass trombone mouthpiece is like a Bach 1G when it is 1mm wider in cup size.
