It really depends on which horn I'm playing. I generally start by using a bowl shaped mouthpiece on my rotary horns (german style), and experiment from there. I lean toward a funnel shaped mouthpiece for my piston horns (American style).

The answer is yes.

Sorry, it's just a pointless question. Using the right mouthpiece with the horn you're using at the time is the better approach, not just choosing because of the shape of the inside of the cup.

My opinion for what it's worth...
