SUPPLY LIST for TUBA
Instrument – School will supply, please complete this School Loan Form
Label – Include first and last name, school, and contact phone # – (Luggage tags work well
Valve Oil – Al Cass and Slide Grease – Bach Tuning Slide Grease
Soft cloth for wiping down instrument (piece of an old t-shirt works great)
*Please note, if you are purchasing your own mouthpiece I recommend a Conn Helleberg or a Bach 7 (AKA Bach 3357). They are pricey but they last forever, and with instruments, you get what you pay for. If you buy a cheap mouthpiece it will directly impact your student’s enjoyment of playing — making it more challenging and difficult than it needs to be! The school has SOME mouthpieces, but if you’d like to purchase your own, that is great, too.
