I'm having trouble matching up the arrows with the list.

real question: (Before I look online, do you happen to know which is larger: SM2 vs. SM3 ??)

SM2 is larger. It is the largest mouthpiece in the Steven Mead line, at least before they started adding all the "Ultra" designations or whatever.

^ arrows = old receiving blanket for my son that got relegated to the "tuba rag" pile...

I have a 3 which I bought back when this line was the latest rage. I've always hated it until I acquired my most recently acquired and currently owned compensating euphonium. It seems to be the best thing for it. I think I bought it so long ago that the new gold price was about what you are asking for this one used in silver.
I'm a cheapskate, but I might mull this over.
I will also check and see if I have in stock that thing in which you expressed interest.

@bloke if you want to work out some sort of bartery-trade-plus-cash thing for that, just let me know.

Does British shank=small shank? I have a friend with a Besson Eb that has a small shank receiver who might be interested in your Denis Wick pieces.

Not to speak for Blake (but sorta to speak for Blake):

Yes

With an "L" is the larger shank Denis Wick (e.g., 5L). Without the "L" is the smaller shank (e.g., 5)

I use the Denis Wick 5 (not 5L) on my Martin Medium Eb. I like it well enough, but use it because it's what fits.

Yep. No L = small British shank, like what fits on an old school Besson or some old American E-flats, like Mr. Bort's.

Although, the Wicks have just sold.

Thanks, I guess I won't be passing this along to him after all! Congrats on the sales, though!

Bump.

Bump. Don't be afraid to make an offer.

Are any of your remaining tuba mouthpieces large shank models (.550")?

I am pretty sure they are all standard/American shank. I can measure with calipers and let you know.

Thanks, Blake. FYI, my measurement if referring to the outside diameter of the shank's small end.
