Any ideas on a mouthpiece for this horn? .683(?) bore Eb tuba with an American standard shank lead pipe. I have tried a Bach 18 and a Yamaha Jim Self. I have a Shilke Helleberg II, a Miraphone 23 and a Miraphone Rose Orchestra also to try but so far they all seem a little too big and lack focus. I have played a BBb Yamaha YBB641 for the past 26 years and only Bb horns before that (Conn 20J and Besson 222, various trombones and euphoniums) so the Eb is a different ball game. I am having a ball playing it and learning that C is 1,2 not 1 or 1,3. LOL

I'd also spend a little time with your SHII plugged into it. That might just do the trick.
