I think you can find info on the Bach mouthpiece here:

Vincent Bach was in New York, NY before moving to Mt. Vernon, NY, so the Bach mouthpiece is really old.

Note about the Mirafone piece:

Kids:

Your tuba mouthpiece is NOT a hammer. Please do not use it to drive nails or bend metal items.

I've heard of a Mirafone MP marked F/Eb 23, and if this one follows the Bach numbering it should in fact be wider. "Mirafone" means the early days when they changed the spelling to not conflict with a phone company.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
