What kind of mouthpiece do you use

I rotate between about 6 different mouthpieces.... depending on my mood.... Most of my time is on a PS3.

Biggest difference I've seen in mouthpieces; how well I'm playing into it.

Marcinkiewicz Jim Self. Of all of the mouthpieces I've tried I seem to like them the best. The only mouthpiece I ever regret selling is my gold plated Marc. N4 Tommy Johnson.

G & W Bayamo on my Conn 25J. Will probably switch to Taku or Conn Helleberg soon, because I think I'll have better control with a smaller cup.

I rotate between a Wick 5 with small Euro shank, Bach 24AW, and Kellyburg on my Civil War horns, depending on the range and tone requirements of the arrangements.

MF-3H on 4/4 BBb
MF-4H on pea-shooter F
MF-3H on BBb Helicon...or Kellyberg when it's cold outside.

See my signature.

My son, who is 9, blows occasionally on my tubas. He has a good natural embouchure. Of course, he only has the breath support for a good note or two. But when he blows my Miraphone through a gold plated Wick 2 I got for him because he is allergic/hypersensitive to most other metals, he gets a better tone than I do!

I use an LM-10 and a Schilke 69C4 on my Miraphone 1291.5 (I'm glad to see someone else is calling theirs this as well) and the 69C4 on my Miraphone 181.
