Re: Dillon mouthpieces
Matt Walters at Dillon can answer these questions for you more accurately than I. He sent me the specs a couple of years ago, and told me that at that time they were "between" manufacturers.

Re: Dillon mouthpieces
I believe that these were made by Terry Warburton back when there were around a dozen models widely available from Dillon Music. I seem to recall that they discontinued offering them and ran through the stock on hand at around the same time that Terry Warburton moved and shortly thereafter had a devistating shop fire and kept him from making tuba mouthpieces for a while.
I don't know the specs, but have had several Dillon mouthpieces over the years.
Currently, the Dillon M1C (L shank) is the best I've played in my Alexander 163. I don't care much for the rim, but whatever other "voodoo" there is in that design works so well that I've been able to overlook that.
