I like the experience i got with a 33 before.

This one has a different outside than the ones i recall, so i am wondering if it might be a later martin, approaching the rmc days? Or mayhap an earlier one?
I may also be confusing it with 32s or 34s, but i don't think so.

As for matching mouthpieces, it can be strangle satisfying. Almost like they were made for each other...

Thanks for pointing it out!

Thanks for the wisdom. I woulda guessed the other way round, and i guess i woulda been wrong.

I know this is too little too late, but i finally dug up a Martin 33 for a photo op.

Probably can get my hands on a less beaten up one with the same sort of outside shape.

And the Martin 32s i have seen were like the domed one in the post referenced above.

I don't think i have come across a 34 yet...

And i am too lazy to dig it up, but Lost's thread about cleaning up mouthpieces had a link to Oberloh's thread with pictures of cleaned up Keefer mouthpieces. Long way to go but, i just wanted to say the most rewarding matching of makes on mouthpiece and tuba for me was in fact a Keefer 8. And particularly rewarding because the shank is an unusual taper.
