Any info on the Dillon G5B? I am looking for a new Contrabass Tuba Mouthpiece and am thinking this might be a good fit.

It's really hard to discuss mouthpieces here, I think. Each horn is different, and each player is different, both in their physiology and playing style.

When I got a new (old) horn last year, this was a 'piece I tried. It really didn't work for me. That said, others think it marvelous. For me, the Giddings Taku has proven most versatile and me-friendly from horn to horn.

Yup, and I know it’s a personal thing. I was just looking for suggestions for helleberg type mouthpieces as I have never played on that type of equipment, and don’t know a whole lot about the options.

I have always played on Robert Tucci pieces, as well as giddings and Parker, so I just wanted to see if people have recommendations for good helleberg type mouthpieces. Thanks for the comment!

I have had great experience with Geib style mouthpieces in rotor horns. I appreciate the reply!
