Piggy mouthpiece options

Post by royjohn »

I'm enjoying my new-to-me Cerveny Piggy, which is prolly a '90's model. I've tried various mouthpieces in it without deciding any one is much better than the others...I've heard people call these tubas mouthpiece sensitive and I wonder what other people like to play in them.

I'd look for something with some resistance: not too deep a bowl/funnel, not too large a backbore. Though I like funnels on most anything, I'd go with a bowl on a Pig.

I use either a Miraphone C4 (new number TU23) or a Miraphone TU27 Rose Solo. They work fine. And my horn is not mouthpiece sensitive. PT 88 for big wide organ-like sound.
