I had the best results with a Mirafone C3 or C4. G&W Diablo worked well too.

A C4 works well, regarding the cup/throat/back-bore on a 184...
' two issues:
- You have to like the wide/round Miraphone rim.
- They tend to hang way out of the receivers of many 184 tubas. You have to like that as well.
Yes this was true, I had a receiver made that better accommodated modern mouthpieces. My 184 was from the '60s.

I have a C4 but have never been able to get used to it. I use a Wick 3L on my 184.
