Is Schilke on Sale? November 2026

Questions and answers

What is the difference between the Schilke 62, 66 and 69C4 tuba mouthpieces?

The 62 has the smallest cup of the three and suits players who want more bite and easier high register. The 66 is a middle-of-the-road orchestral shape with a fuller cup. The 69C4 is the largest and deepest, built for a big, dark symphonic sound and more air.

Are Schilke tuba mouthpieces good for beginners?

They are pro-level mouthpieces, so a beginner usually starts on a standard student mouthpiece instead. The 62 is the most approachable of the three for a player moving up. A teacher can match the rim and cup to the player's horn and embouchure.

Where are Schilke mouthpieces made?

Schilke mouthpieces are made in the United States, at the company's shop in the Chicago area. The Standard Series is CNC-machined and finished by hand. That US production is a large part of why players compare them with European makers.

Does Schilke offer a warranty on its mouthpieces?

Schilke backs its mouthpieces against manufacturing defects, and plating defects are usually covered. Wear from normal use, dropped rims and altered shanks are not. Keep the receipt and check the terms with the seller you buy from.

Can I return a Schilke tuba mouthpiece if the rim does not suit me?

Returns depend on the store, not on Schilke, so check each seller's policy before you buy. Mouthpieces are often excluded once the packaging is opened for hygiene reasons. A seller that allows a trial period is worth choosing for a first purchase of a new rim size.

Are there Schilke discount codes?

Deal.ai checks what Schilke products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
