Yet another... mouthpiece inquiry

I'm just bought a used Cerveny Piggy CC tuba. I was wondering if anyone out there had any suggestions as to what mouthpiece would be good for it or if I should just stick with the Rose Solo model I've been playing with my school's 186.

There is no such thing as too many mouthpieces.

Is there anything in particular you don't like about the Miraphone mouthpiece? Since the Cerveny is also a rotary of similar size, it should do alright, unless you're just wanting to make a change. I would only add that the shallow bowl may not have enough depth of tone, but then again, depending on where you are playing-wise, too deep a cup is hard to control.

Try it first and see, and then go from there if you need or desire to.
