I rotate between about 6 different mouthpieces.... depending on my mood.... Most of my time is on a PS3.


Biggest difference I've seen in mouthpieces; how well I'm playing into it.

Marcinkiewicz Jim Self. Of all of the mouthpieces I've tried I seem to like them the best. The only mouthpiece I ever regret selling is my gold plated Marc. N4 Tommy Johnson. :(

G & W Bayamo on my Conn 25J. Will probably switch to Taku or Conn Helleberg soon, because I think I'll have better control with a smaller cup.

I rotate between a Wick 5 with small Euro shank, Bach 24AW, and Kellyburg on my Civil War horns, depending on the range and tone requirements of the arrangements.

See my signature.

My son, who is 9, blows occasionally on my tubas. He has a good natural embouchure. Of course, he only has the breath support for a good note or two. But when he blows my Miraphone through a gold plated Wick 2 I got for him because he is allergic/hypersensitive to most other metals, he gets a better tone than I do!

I use an LM-10 and a Schilke 69C4 on my Miraphone 1291.5 (I'm glad to see someone else is calling theirs this as well) and the 69C4 on my Miraphone 181.
