What tenor and bass mouthpieces are you using?

Post by mbtrombone »

So, I haven't bought a new bass mouthpiece in about 7 years or a new tenor in about 10 years. Was bored, so I tried all my bass mouthpieces and found one that I might like more than my current, which got me thinking about what is new out there or commonly used now. After talking to some friends I was surprised how many more options there are now! Just curious to see what everyone is using?

Me

Tenor: Hammond 11ML
Bass: Doug Yeo, or Hammond 21BXL

Again, just curious to see what people are using these days.

Tenor: DE XT 102 rim, G* cup, G8 or H8 shank
Bass: DE LT 112 rim, K cup and K8 shank, sometimes an L cup and L8 shank

I’m getting too old and I don’t play enough to keep up with bigger equipment. And, referencing a different thread, I’m keeping it simply and going smaller and lighter. It’s easier to get a big, clear trombone sound on smaller equipment rather than trying to make big equipment sound small. It just ends up sounding woofy.

At the moment, subject to change...

small tenor: quite a good Bach 6.5AL
large tenor: Ultimate Brass SMP. Only had a week on it so far
bass: Yamaha Yeo. Current horn is not jiving with my larger stuff, and it works. Not the sound I have in my head.

I'm currently using all Doug Elliott setups with Lexan rims (nickel allergy). I do have two Symington bass pieces in ZR which I hope to play again some day...

Small tenor: XT104 lexan rim, XTC+ cup, D2 shank
Large tenor: XT104 lexan rim, XTF* cup, F8 shank ; XT104 lexan rim, XTF* cup, F4 shank
Euph: XT 104 lexan rim, XTF* cup, F8 shank (I dig small pieces for Euph, I like the old school Brass Band sound)
Bass: LB114 lexan rim, LBM* cup, M8 shank ; XB114 lexan rim, XBM lightweight cup, M8 shank ; older LB114 lexan rim, LBM cup, M8 shank
Contra: CB118(?) rim, CBP cup, P8 shank. I have a contra setup and no contra haha. It'll come in handy one day.

Symington stuff... 1.5 in ZR and 2 in ZR. I adore my Symington pieces and plan to use them again at some point.

Small tenor (lead): Warburton 8S/4* 2-piece. Very shallow cup, Bach 4G-sized rim.
Small tenor (all-around): Hammond 13M, or at least it will be again if I can ever find it.
Large tenor: Hammond 12ML. I would use my Warburton 7ST/3* (3G-size) but my 88H doesn't play nice with it.
Bass: Warburton 2B/3* (Schilke 60-sized).

Alto(s): Ferguson 11 and sometimes Yamaha 46B
Small tenor: Not really settled - currently Ferguson 11
Medium tenor: Not really settled - sometimes Yamaha Nils Landgren
Large American tenor: Ferguson 2
Large German tenor: Yamaha Alain Trudel - I know this is not very conventional, but it works well (probably due to the narrow backbore)
Bass: Ferguson L

However I am currently working on a set/small line of new mouthpieces with a well respected mouthpiece maker which will affect these choices.
I am pretty sure this may be interesting for others as well, so will keep anybody posted who wants to know.

Bass: Greg Black 1/4G, .312 #2
Large Tenor: Greg Black 3.5
Small Tenor: Schilke 51D

I was constantly switching mouthpieces on bass (my main horn) for the last few years and had a new piece at least every week but when I came across Greg Black pieces, I found out they fit great for me. Went through a few and settled on my current one which works great for me. I love the equipment side of music so finding a mouthpiece that worked well with no complaints was a relief after years of searching.

Just curious. What is the purpose of skeletonizing a Megatone? Couldn't you just have skeleyonized a regular 7C?

BGuttman,
It was an experiment. I liked the bigger back bore and rim feel.
But wondered how it would play with less metal than a Megatone but more than a standard 7C
I`m happy with the results.
Left - Regular Megatone
Right - Modified Megatone

A Josef Klier 8D, JK 7D, JK 7E, and the m/p that came with my Kuhnl Bart van Lier tbn, which looks like its based on based on a JK 8E, but with an opened out throat and a IMO opinion a less comfortable rim.
All other mouthpieces have been moved on, and my current fave with the Kuhnl 480/88" BZ is the JK 8E..

Small Bore horn: Conn 2 from the early 1970's, it cost me twelve bucks, sounds decent, and the high notes pop out well.
Large Bore: Bach 5G, I think it's pretty good
Bass Trombone: Bach 1 1/2G, I have a 1G but it's too big for me.
Baritone: Bach 6 1/2 AL. It's what I have and gets the job done.

I also have an old Roth and a Holton 12C, but the Roth has the oversized Reynolds shank, and the Holton makes everything really sharp and the low notes don't come out well.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Large bore: Bach 5GB (I only play large bore, I’m a high schooler)

The beauty of the 5GB is you still retain that 5G “stableness” but with less metal on your face.

Large tenor: XT N106 F+ G8, used to be GB NY 1 for a long time, but I went back to the Elliott because of the comfort recently.

Small tenor: It depends on the job at hand...
Small(er) group works? CKB 7C
Big band? Bach 5 (3rd book is pretty flexible in range)

Large tenor: Bach 5GS. I chose a shallower mouthpiece for extra clarity. I do want to try a 5GL, or maybe a normal 5G for extra separation from the above 5...
I don't jive with the Holton 89 my 168 came with, which i presume is the original mouthpiece. Too wide inside and not enough bite.

Bass: Schilke 58, long shank. I also have a short shank 58 and a Wick 1AL, the rim of which is a bit too flat in contour for me.

Yamaha Douglas Yeo and 60BL for bass (and tuba!). The latter is for when I want to play high for an extended period of time.

I used to have Yamaha 53DL and Bach 3G for tenor, but right now I lend them to students in the school band.

Lastly, Wessex 3 for tenorhorn and rotary bass trumpet.

Bass - Marcinkiewicz 1 Concert Hall
Eb Tuba - Marcinkiewicz 106 or DE LB110, P Cup, Tuba Shank
Large Bore - Marcinkiewicz 3 or 5F
Small Bore - Marcinkiewicz 5F or 6 1/2AL

I mostly play bass or tuba. So not always decided on the Large and Small Bore. Mouthpiece choice sometimes depends on what I am playing and what sound is needed. I am worthless on anything much smaller then a 6 1/2AL.

(Based on the results above) Does anybody in their right mind play a Bach 4G (or 5G).? I was expecting to see more.
(Apologies to any 4G or 5G players who have payed above )
I played a 4G for years. Then went to a Wick 4B (L or S) and currently a Doug Elliott LT 102
