Mouthpiece Recommendation - Double Bell Euphonium
Through a friend, I have a line on a Conn 5 valve (4 and a switch valve) double bell euphonium in silver. The euphonium bell is upright and the small bell is like a recording bell. I'm not a euphonium player, but I'm thinking this might be fun to mess around with. It is missing the mouthpiece. I am looking for a mouthpiece for this horn. Something that is basic and would work for a beginner player. Any suggestions?

Re: Mouthpiece Recommendation - Double Bell Euphonium
Having owned about 5-6 double-bell euphoniums, I've always struggled with the 6.5AL and anything smaller (due to the rim size). The 5GS works very well for me - similar to the 6.5AL, but with a bigger rim. I did try a Schilke 51D on a Conn that I owned, played very flat and the sound was dull...

Doug Elliott made a wonderful mouthpiece for my Conn double bell euphonium. Mine is a 60I, which has both bells forward facing.
Here are the specs:
SB110 rim, SBG cup, G5 shank.
