Can anyone give me some info on the ME1

Hey,
just looking for some specs on this mouthpiece and wondering if it's a bowl or funnel shape and any opinions (and possibly if anyone has one they want to part with.)
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,

Here is some information I recieved from Getzen:

ME1 Rim: 1.297" (32.9mm), cup depth 1.745" (44.3mm)
Marty's personal choice for use on his Willson model 3400S Eb tuba. The overall response, clarity of sound and sense of security of this mouthpiece provides the clean, focused sound on the small horn while keeping the warm, full sound in the middle and low register for bigger horn pieces.

ME2 Rim: 1.286" (32.7mm), cup depth 1.525" (38.7mm)
Superlative response with a little brighter sound than the ME1. Excellent small tuba mouthpiece providing a brighter small horn sound while providing unusual clarity and optimum projection.

ME3 Rim: 1.279" (32.5mm), cup depth 1.614" (41.0mm)
Crossover mouthpiece providing a darker or warmer sound so the small horn achieves a big horn sound without losing the focus. Excellent mouthpiece for large tubas needing to perform in smaller ensembles with a clear, non-invasive voice.

ME4 Rim: 1.332" (33.8mm), cup depth 1.718" (43.6mm)
Good all around mouthpiece for the big horns. Preferred by many military band performers who want the big sound, but demand clean articulation necessary for technical passages.

ME5 Rim: 1.308" (33.2mm), cup depth 1.637" (41.6mm)
Biggest mouthpiece, providing warm, rich and centered sound. Wonderful for some of the big orchestral and band works demanding huge, focused sound, but having the ability to project to the back row of the auditorium. Silver plated. Gold plated available as special order.

Hope this helps.
