You might also be able to get away with gold. Perantucci (via Custom Music in Detroit) can obtain silver mouthpiecs with a gold rim. That way you don't have to pony up the cost of a full-gold mouthpiece.

As to the back-washing, does your son set the tuba on the chair to play? He might be able to scoot out towards the front of his chair and hold the horn on his legs. From there it's very easy to adjust the height of the lead pipe by raising or lowering the horn. A good position while playing might take care of several birds with one stone.

Of course, anything I tell you is a shot in the dark, since I haven't seen him play.

Good luck!
