If you ever get to a tuba convention of some sort, try a Willson CC tuba next to your tuba with ANY mouthpiece.

Tubas, like mouthpieces, vary GREATLY in their low register response, and Willson CC's are "wide open".

As to the mouthpiece, ask for others' opinions of the Marcinkiewicz helleburg-style mouthpieces (H1, H2, etc). My opinion of them it that they are the best. Also, those dorky-looking Helleburg-style mouthpieces (made by Jettone?) that look like a piece of pipe have a great low range, but somewhat to the detriment of other ranges.
