Hi 
I `m a professional basstrombone player looking for a good tuba for big band music. I`m now playing a Boosey & Hawkes Bb "Imperial"   17" bell and a quite small mouthpiece (Denis Wick 4). 
I`m looking for a tuba for ensemble playing and improvising.
Any suggestions which tuba (Bb, Cc, Eb, F - 3/4, 4/4, 5/4...) and mouthpiece I should try?
Thanks
