WTB: Big mouthpiece with small shank
I recently bought a F cimbasso. Of some reason it has a small shank and takes a standard trombone/baritone mouthpiece. For me it's difficult to play and sound good in the low register with such small mouthpieces. I'm looking for a bass trombone mouthpiece or a fairly small tuba mouthpiece with a small shank.
Woodwinds and low brass.

Still looking for a small tuba mouthpiece with a standard tenor trombone shank. Seems to be a difficult combination to obtain.

Re: WTB: Big mouthpiece with small shank
Thanks! The Roger Bobo TT mouthpiece seems to have a bass trombone sized shank. If so, it's too wide for my cimbasso. I'll check with Kelly mouthpieces, they don't seem to have a matching piece in their standard selection.

I use a Thein contrabass trombone mouthpiece on my cimbasso. Doug Elliott, Kanstul, Thein, and many others make these specialty mouthpieces that work well, however they aren't cheap!

Re: WTB: Big mouthpiece with small shank
I'm still looking. To be clear: The small shank I'm looking for is a small trombone shank, not a small tuba shank. Regular bass trombone mouthpieces are too wide. I would also consider an adapter of some sort, but haven't found one that would fit.

Re: WTB: Big mouthpiece with small shank
Can the receiver be changed? If that is done, then you'll have many more choices in mouthpieces.

Re: WTB: Big mouthpiece with small shank
I have a weird old mouthpiece that I had cut down to a medium-size British shank years ago. Haven't had occasion to use it. It's a stock mouthpiece from a Cerveny/Sanders with A42 stamped on the bowl. Made in Czechoslovakia (that alone should be worth something!). About 30 mm, Standard cup; looks like Bach on the inside. It fits about 1/2" deep into my King 2B, without much wiggling.
If you're willing to pay $5 to ship it USPS, you can give it a try. I'll even shine it up for you. If it doesn't work, send it back. If it does, $10 and we're done.
