Best mpc for blowing bubbles?

The kids and I were blowing bubbles using the conventional little plastic embouchure visualizer-like device. It seemed like a mouthpiece would more efficiently direct the air into the soap film.
It took a little experience to get the Baer CC to hold the soap film on its knife-edge shank end, but it produced large strong single bubbles each time. The blunt ends of a Loud 7 and Martin 32 held the film more readily; they too produced large single bubbles, but they also could more easily produce multiple small bubbles for the greater entertainment of the little ones.
All the mouthpieces I tried had round, pristine shank ends. Another time I'll have to try my old bent shank 24AW that hit the pavement a few times back at LSU and is nicely ovaled for the purpose.
