Mouthpiece recommendation for Martin Medium Eb

Post by bort2.0 »

Does anyone have suggestions for a mouthpiece to use on my Martin Medium Eb?

I've been using a Bach 18 with it, which works okay, but frankly seems like it's too big -- and allows for really wide intonation slotting. Everything lines up quite well, but something a little more E-flatty would be nice.

Needs to be small shank, too.

I typically like rims around 32.5 mm, not wide, not rounded, and larger bore mouthpieces. I'm guessing though that I shouldn't be looking for something quite so deep, for this smaller-sized tuba.

Suggestions on something in the $100 or less range?

Thanks!

As long as it's Chinese and stainless steel, you should be fine.
