MW 2182 mouthpiece paring

[JTizzle717]

I just bought a used MW 2182 and I have some stuffiness in the mid-low register. I have a Laskey 28K and a Mercer & Barker MB4 and they seem to get results that are just opposite ends of the spectrum on the horn. Good response on low notes with the MB but not very nimble, with almost the exact opposite happening with the laskey. Any recommendations of mouthpieces to try?

I use the Wick Tindall AT6/7/8U’s on mine. The 6 when in an orchestra and need more sound, the 7 as a fantastic all-around mp, and the 8 for more challenging solo rep.

I second the suggestion for the Tindall 7/8. I'd probably try the 7Y first, but would also own an 8Y.

I am longtime playing F tuba, playing it exclusively most of the time. I have used a Yamaha 67C4 on different horns for a good result including a 2182 which is my main horn. After reading that their 67B4 is the intended MP for an F tuba, I bought one and it works well on the 2182 but I prefer the 67C4 for more presence. I wound up with this mouthpiece when I bought my first F over the phone from the Tuba Exchange and asked them to select a mouthpiece for the sale.
