In Reply to: 6/4 users: which mouthpiece? posted by jeff miller on November 01, 2001 at 18:00:46:
i play a 6/4 hirsbrunner as well...when i first got the horn i was playing a helleburg, then switched to a pt 48 and finally have stayed (for the last 2 1/2 years) with a pt 44 (i drilled the throat to be 8.3ish mm like the pt 88, and i flatened the rim a bit)
i find that on a 6/4 horn (not always, but for me) you don't need a huge mouthpiece, the size of the horn sounds impressive by itself, i think what is impressive on a big horn is clarity, which is what a smaller mouthpiece will help out a bit with
