You should already have the mouthpiece shipped with the YBB-621 - a Yamaha 69C4, It think. This is a fairly decent starting point (although some folk badmouth it).

I have used a Dillon G5 (a G3 with a narrow backbore) and was happy with it.

Recently, i switched to a Doug Elliot contraption. I handed the G5 to Doug and asked him to match it, but supply a slightly larger backbore. In retrospect, I was asking for a G3, built out of his parts. If memory serves (I'm on the road, in Seattle, right now [aside...any events/place of interest to tubists in Seattle between today and Thursday?] the DE specs are: 2N130P5. I've been playing this for several months and have been
satisfied with it. RealSoonNow, I may experiement with a larger cup, probably matched with a slightly larger backbore.
