Re: Change Reciever or small shank mouthpiece

If it's a Marcinkiewicz, it's probably a 105, 106, or 107 -- "contrabass trombone" mouthpieces on a bass 'bone shank. The 107 is the largest I.D. of the three at just over 30 mm. If a bass 'bone shank mouthpiece works in the OP's York, there are several 'pieces available in that size range (Schilke 60 and variants, Bach 1G, and Loud LM-30 come to mind). Hope this helps!schlepporello wrote:Another member on this board had bought a Mahillon EEb a few years back and his is the same way. The shank on your mouthpiece is the same size as the shank on a baritone mouthpiece. This I know, because when we put his original mouthpiece in my baritone, it fit perfectly. He had bought a new mouthpiece from Tuba Exchange that was a significantly smaller shank size than a Helleberg, but still not as small as his original. It doesn't seat itself in as deeply as his original, but good enough and he likes it very much. I believe he got a Marcinkiewicz, but I'm not sure.
