Hey look, an interview with a mouthpiece maker

Post by tbdana »

This popped up in my YouTube feed from three years ago. Thought folks who didn't see it at the time (like me) might be interested to see it.

Always learn something when Doug speaks. Humorously to me, I find tuba shanks crazy and difficult (I have two tubas, now five mouthpieces, and only one that really works). Took us a couple of tries to get the right sized shanks, but now I need to expand my tuba cup sizes, too.

Cheers,
Andy

Hey, it's cool to see a familiar face. Vurl taught tuba lessons in the area I grew up.

I know both of those guys. I went to college with Vurl from 1977 to 1982. I met Doug at TMEA several years ago when buying a mouthpiece from him and have enjoyed visiting over the years. I even was able to have him stop in DFW on his way home from TMEA one year to work with my trombone students when I had a private trombone studio.
