I currently play on a Laskey 30H. I feel like I have some tone issues on it. I also feel that I use a lot (more than nessicary) of air when I play with the Laskey on
I've been lookin at the Schilke GEIB piece but I'm not sure if it is the right choice for my problem. I want to find a mouthpiece that has great tone in all registers that has a tighter bore or throat.
WHAT DOES GEIB MEAN??
I also looked at the Peranticci PT-83. I'm not sure about that one either.
If anyone has experience with any of the mouthpieces I mentioned please leave a response.

GEIB used to make well-regarded tuba mouthpieces and others have issued similar models.
I use a Laskey 30H with my Euro receiver and I like it. If you find something that suits you better (especially if it's more air-efficient), please post a follow-up.

Re: Mouthpiece advice, Laskey, Schilke, and Perantucci
What are you comparing the Laskey 30H to in your descriptions of its characteristics? Also, what horn are you using it in? Both of those facts will give a better idea of what you should be looking at. I borrowed a friend's Laskey 30H before I purchased my Sellmansberger Symphony, and my impressions were pretty different from what you're describing. The sound had a lot of extra color compared to my Conn Helleberg, and I remember feeling that it was also a bit more efficient (all of these impressions from my East German BBb rotary). Another player I know had very excellent luck using the 30H on his Holton 345 CC.

Still curious as to what mouthpiece you're comparing to when you say the 30H feels inefficient. Like I mentioned last post, that was definitely one impression I didn't get from it.

I went to the 30H from a Conn Helleberg (on American receiver). I can still readapt to the Helleberg or a Bach 18 pretty quickly.
