Travel F tuba mouthpiece

Post by Etienne1006 »

I am curious about what mouthpiece people use on their F/Eb travel tubas. I'm not sure where to look. Cimbasso mpc? Tuba mpc on the smaller side? Contrabass trombone mpc?

Thanks!

Those horns were originally designed to serve touring tubists as a means to prepare for tonight´s concert at the hotel room at a CONVENIENT time. Rather than arriving backstage early to warm up, get dressed and maybe relax before first downbeat. Especially on busy touring schedules, it MAY provide A LITTLE MORE spare time to actually appreciate the fabulous places You´re travelling.

Therefore I guess the answer is "Use the MP that You´re going to stick into Your stage horn that night".
