While I agree the St. Petersburg is very different... I still personally prefer a deap bowl for it.

Re: New tuba mouthpiece
All right! So, on the second page, and the sixth day, maybe we have another answer (besides LM 12!)
How about a Laskey 28G? hornguys' favorite Laskey for the 186, by the way. Ordinary width ("28" == 1.28 diameter), deep bowl ("G" - though really don't have any idea how deep.)

Re: New tuba mouthpiece
Seriously, bloke....the kid is looking for advice. Can't you be helpful once in your life?
Nothing wrong with the 24AW. Like any other mouthpiece, it's not for everyone. Especially bloke. Although, I have been promised evidence that he uses one daily, with some special customizations. I'll post pics when I get the proof.

This just in from a questionable source. (all in fun, bloke, and Steinway. This is parody.)

Re: New tuba mouthpiece
But cleaning out that particular 24AW should be easier............
Alan, where are you located? Best bet may be to get to a store that stocks different mouthpieces and will let you try them.

Re: New tuba mouthpiece
Not a 24AW, rather a 24WC. Not gonna be flush with my lips.
