In October 2019 George Barker and Carl Mercer joined forces to create Mercer & Barker Ltd a collaboration of two Tuba players and friends wishing to create brass instrument mouthpieces of the highest quality using the best of British precision engineering. These mouthpieces are not only aesthetically pleasing but have been developed and designed to sit comfortably on the face, improve core sound and endurance whilst securing intonation and clarity across all registers. We offer many bespoke finishes which only enhance the aesthetics of our product and meet the customers personal requirements. Many leading musicians have tried and tested our product and the reviews speak for themselves, the current British National Brass Band champions “Fodens” Bass Section all play on M&B Mouthpieces along with the US Open Brass Band Champions “Fountain City Brass” Bass Section, Over the coming months and years our portfolio will continue to grow and expand into all Brass Instrument mouthpieces, our goal to become a leading brand of brass instrument mouthpieces that are readily available to all brass musicians. With the help of some of the UK’s elite players we have been able develop and offer globally some of the finest precision engineered mouthpieces on the market.
