Mouthpiece usage
Ive seen some mouthpieces are stated to be best with large 6/4 tubas and some do not say that. Does this mean I need a smaller mouthpiece for a 4/4 or 5/4 horn? Or does it really matter

Re: Mouthpiece usage
Use the one that makes you sound and best on that horn.
Mouthpieces are cheap compared to tubas,

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Re: Mouthpiece usage
Having purchased 8 different mouthpieces over the past 2 years, in search of nirvana, I found one that made me sound the best, but also was easiest to blow day to day.
I would say that the general guidance offered by Bach, re bore, rim, etc., I found to be pretty good advice when looking across my 8 buys.
