Euphonium Mouthpiece Comparison Site

[dwerden]

I'm gradually building out the mouthpiece comparisons on my site. I have just added a Euphonium Comparison page. I'm trying to include all the available manufacturers and models, but THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS! I have more data to add, but it's off to a pretty good start I think.

One extra feature is a comparison filter. If you click on a mouthpiece about the same size as the one you are comparing, the page is re-loaded with mouthpieces of the same cup width, slightly larger, and slightly smaller, so you can see what else might be close. Just click on the cup width to activate it. (Once you do, there will be a link at the top of the page to "un-filter" the page again.)

The default you will first see is a listing of mouthpieces with a large shank (bass trombone size). Near the top of the page you can choose to see European Euphonium (middle size) and Tenor Trombone size (small shank).

If you don't see your favorite brand, give me time. I do have a day job also! (But there is a link at the top of the page to our contact form so you can suggest additions)

For those who double (or triple?) there are also pages for:
Trombone mouthpieces - http://www.dwerden.com/mouthpieces/trombone.cfm
(which is really just a subset of the euphonium site without the Euro shank)
and
Tuba mouthpieces - http://www.dwerden.com/mouthpieces/tuba.cfm

Great stuff! This will save the rest of us a lot of work, and a lot of confusion. Thanks!

Since Schilke, Bach,... are listed even though they may not be SPECIFICALLY euphonium mouthpieces, how about the regular Wick line as well?

They are there, but "filed" under Denis Wick, not Wick. BTW, one of the real challenges has been sorting out some pretty inadequate specs in the manufacturers' catalogs. It's not always clear exactly what shank a mp is suited for.

I notice you don't have any of the "tenor tuba" mouthpieces listed.
I believe there are-
-Yamaha Bobo
-Yamaha Self
- possibly a Marcinkiewicz Self

I'll check it out.

I wonder if JK, Thein,.... or any of the other European manufacturers have euph/tenor tuba mouthpieces?

Again, it's tough to get all the right info, but I'm not even close to the bottom of the barrel yet.

Thanks for the suggestions.
