Tiny mouthpieces in bass tubas?

No, but I've played an "F" tuba mouthpiece in my 6/4 Conn BBb. It really helped with the high register, and could pop some pedals out also. It sounded great overall

Just for you, I spent a couple of minutes with the little mouthpiece that came with my old Czech Eb helicon. Unplated brass, unusual taper, about 28mm and shallow, with a throat slightly smaller than an Olds 3 trombone mouthpiece. It was sort of fun for a few minutes, but the novelty wears off and there isn't much substance on the low end. I can't see what good this would do me.
