Questions!

I'm not really that new to euphonium, but I've been on a break since June, as I've focused on tuba. I own a Mack euphonium, and was looking for a setup oriented more towards a tuba player. Some may object to the idea of the tuba rim euphonium cup sort of thing, but I just want something that would fit me well. I was thinking something with a bigger bore, such as the Miraphone M5050, or the Wessex Sinfonico, as the 4th valve bore is huge. I'd assume no matter what, the compensating sound is more appropriate, but if it's not, I'd like to learn. Maybe even the French C Tuba is the direction I should go? Doubtful, but I'm open to any option!

Doug Elliott makes (or used to make) mouthpiece part combinations for tubists doubling on euphonium. I had one and it worked well, but I sold the euph with the piece to another tubist. Wish I hadn't, actually…

Good luck, Toby!

Thank you!! I saw the Doug Elliott cup, but I wonder which rim works with the cup!

Call him. Doug is a great guy and will explain what he has available for that application.

Will do. I think I'm getting one of the Bobo Tenor Tuba pieces for Christmas, not 100% sure though.
