    With similiar problems at the beginning - i've been told the following: practise low to get high. You'll improve your airstream to get a better air support above the staff. Finally this will improve...

    Chinese. In a similiar sense like perhaps Wessex. Otherwise they'd have it pointed out at their German website.

    I love the SM4X. Additionally, this is an excellent bass trombone mouthpiece, when you have to play any solo. In bigband I play usually a Bach 1.5 G @ my besson bassbone, but the SM4X worked fine for...

    Hi, I'm only a hobbyist at Euph, but play this piece too. My regular range is finished at the high concert B flat, but I have no problems with this jump (my hit quote is at 90-95%). Maybe my...

    I have a very restricted stock of large shank mouthpieces. While I use the SM4X on my euphonium this one also works best for solo purposes on my old Besson bassbone. Better than the 1.5G (which I use...

    Hi Porkwich,

    let me help you as a 'bloody beginner' (due to being a natural cello player switching to euphonium) with poor technique. 3 years ago I was in the same situation - to practise this...

    Hi Euphonicus, greetings from Cologne/Köln :)

    My YEP 321 came with a Yamaha 48 mouthpiece which I consider a allround beginner's mouthpiece. But I spent two years with this mp to become familiar...

    I met Steve at a weekend-masterclass he did in Germany 5 years ago. I remember him as an amazing euphonium player, an outstanding teacher and a great guy. When he did let us play a little solo, all...

    Interesting thread, never read this before. Euphonium, trombone and tuba are good choices. And if you get sheets in other keys - sit and practise, learn to play from these.

    I've some anecdotes for...

    I second what Rick and Dave said. I'd add the throat of the mpc, where the DW mouthpieces have larger throat than the 6.5 equivalents, which means darker sound. My experience is that a 6BY would be...

    I stick Wick 4AY when I play the YEP-321, my wife (a "native" trumpet player) plays a Wick 6BY (the wick mp in 6.5 size). Sound is fine.

    For low pedals I have to shift my embouchure as well (with SM4X on my Imperial). But I never tried the Bach 1 1/2 G on my Euph. Actually I play the tuba in my local concert band.

    But reverse -...

    Hello Sean, welcome to the forum.
    I'm a proud owner of a B&H Imperial with large shank, built in 1974 (checked my serial number). It has this angular leadpipe and a beautiful sound. The intonation...

    When I switched from the Yamaha 48 MP to the Wick 4AY on my YEP-321, I did an intermediate step of the JK 6B. It's about the middle between the "trmobonic" Yam 48 sound and the more euphonium-like...

    Just my 2 cents:
    The 321 was my second euphonium between the yam 201 and a B&H Imperial. Expect the compensating range the Yam 321 has a very good intonation, far superior to both other euphs....

    I went from Yamaha 48 via a Bach-5G-sized mouthpiece (JK exclusive 6B) to the Wick 4AY, which is soundwise the best mp for my taste. Not so much trombone-like. Disclaimer: I'm a hobbyist and never...
