is this the right mouthpiece for this euphonium

Post by Thermionman »

Does this mouthpiece look to be the right size for this euphonium.??I got this euphonium off ebay ....It is an "Academy"....brand.....I got the mouthpiece separately.It is a Schilke 50 ,I think it may be a medium shank,but I don't really know...and I think the shank is too small , goes in too far..??? Seems thin sounding as well...

That looks about right. A regular mouthpiece of the right size will enter the instrument 1" in depth.

The right mouthpiece for a euphonium will be what works best for you. A larger mouthpiece might be worth a try. As said in another thread by Bloke, a Schilke 52E2 can be a decent euphonium mouthpiece.
