Yes, the mouthpiece for any instrument in the brass family (tuba, Trumpet, Trombone, frenchhorn etc) use a metal mouthpiece. It is shaped like a funnel. You put your lips on it and buzz them to make the sound. The only "brass*" that doesn't use a metal mouth is a Saxophone. It has a plastic or hard rubber mouthpiece.
