Mouthpiece for JinBao 210

Post by juarez2000 »

i recently acquired a Schiller JinBao 210 horn, and I wanted to know what mouthpiece is a good match for this horn.

I seem to remember hearing the Giddings "Taku" was decent on it and that particular horn is very mouthpiece sensitive and somewhat stuffy below low Bb.

I have been using a RT-50 with decent results.
The low Bb is good and below to the F.
Still lacking in the E Eb and D range,
I don’t go there much anyway.

After trying a dozen or more mouthpieces when I received my 210L, I have settled on a Sellmansberger Symphony with a Grand shank.

I’ve had a 210 for a little over a year now, having tried 8-10 different mouthpieces. The horn has a beautiful sound all the way down through the pedal tones - nothing stuffy about it. I did miss the agility of my old smaller bore horn, but found that the 210 with a Stofer Geib comes close. For me, this combination produces a sharper, focused tone that’s closer to the sound concept I wanted. The drawback is the Geib's narrow rim, which lessens endurance. For longer gigs, I’ll pull out a Bach 12: not quite the agility, but with a rounder tone. Mileage will vary, of course.

I was using the Bach 12 and Faxx HB before switching to the RT50
