Mike Finn Mouthpieces

[Rick Denney]

I will echo everything you said about the MF4. It produces a noticeably more colorful and focused sound on my B&S than the PT-64, which is the gold standard for that instrument.

And I thought as you did, that the MF2 might be just the ticket for the bigger instruments. I found a used one and bought it, but frankly the result wasn't as good compared to the mouthpieces I was already using.

On my big tuba, I use a PT-48, which is supposedly a Helleberg shape but which I notice is decidedly more bowl-shaped than an actual Helleberg. It makes a much more colorful and focused sound on the bit tuba, and is an excellent woof preventative. For an instrument that tends to the dark, the PT-48 might be a worthy contender. On a Miraphone, though, it can hurt people.

Don't you think this would be just a little too easy?

Have you read the descriptions of the mouthpieces? The web site is rather vague as far as bowl shape.

On the contrary, the best description of interior shape and rim profile of any mouthpiece maker!

A little out of date, though - no coverage on the MF 5 - but it does show how different the MF 2 is from the MF 4.
