Playing in a Brass Band I have always been fond of Denis Wick pieces. I use a 3L with my Besson 982 Eb most of the time and a 1L when I play the big Besson 984 BBb.
The new design (very similar to the Heritage pieces, but without the gold plating) is very comfortable with me as well. I don't think I'd ever use anything else.
What are your favorite tuba mouthpieces, and why?

Re: What are your favorite tuba mouthpieces, and why?
Right now, a MIke Finn Model H is my main mouthpiece. It has a 32 mm cup diameter, fairly deep cup and open throat with a wide, somewhat flat rim, but without a sharp inner rim.
I also like the Warburton TG4, which is supposedly a copy of one of AJ's stage mouthpieces. It also has a 32 mm cup diameter. For a larger cup, I like the Canadian Brass AJ mouthpiece, and have one manufactured by Warburton.
I am anxiously awaiting receipt of two Wedge MPs. The 7b in the standard blank and the H2 in the heavy blank. Will report back when they arrive.
