WTB: Big mouthpiece with small shank

bassax · Post by **bassax** » Fri Mar 06, 2015 3:03 am

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.

I'm still looking for this. Anyone?

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

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!

Check out the Denis Wick Eb mouthpieces

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.

Can the receiver be changed? If that is done, then you'll have many more choices in mouthpieces.

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.
