I play a 20 year old MW 45 F tuba, which is a nice, sturdy and traditional German F with the mandatory low range problems. This is the only playable instrument I have, so it has to serve as a "generalized" tuba, if you see what I mean.
Not having played for a long time I'm trying to get started again. So, this might be the right time to find a new mouthpiece in exchange for the one that came with the tuba, which I find a little narrow in the rim diameter. I've been trying a Conn Helleberg, and I like the general feel, but the tone I produce with it is rather dull.
I'd be glad to hear MP recommendations from anyone who happens to play this kind of tuba.
