Curious question.

[dmeacham5]

I was inspired to ask this by another thread, how many mouthpieces do you have and what are they?
I have 4 a Pt-88, Loud Lm-5, conn 2, and a Abs plastic mouthpiece I made in a class from a 3-D printer.

What is the reason you don't use silver plate? is it because it wears off? I like the feel of the stainless better too, I can feel a difference in the metal. Are those the reasons or am I missing something?

... hope I'm not forgetting something. What really makes it a joke is that for the most part I don't play the tuba all that much these days - I mean, I play regularly but very casual. But Friday we opened for a big show at a packed house, and I played tuba this time: Marcinkiewicz H3. If I had to pick a few and clear out the rest, I'd ... hm, I'd keep most of them. I could say goodbye to a few and not miss them, though.

This is like the cylinder index on a local radio station. The more cylinders you have the more motorized things the more... well, you get the idea. I feel inadequate with just: a Sellsmanberger solo #2 and symphony, a Stofer Gieb, a G&W Bora, a Kanstul Eb-F, and a wooden mouthpiece I made myself.

How does the wooden mouthpiece work? Does it sound good?

I made it from a piece of maple but have made others from walnut. They work fine. A very mellow tone. Mine are roughly a copy of a Bach 18. I turn them myself for fun. Lee Stofer has two of them.
