Using Multiple Mouthpieces
I'm in high school so a majority of my playing during the fall is on a marching horn for about 4 hours daily. As you can tell by my signature, I use a marching baritone instead of a marching euph. My Curry 3D is wayyy to big for the marching horn and I dug around quite a bit on quite a few mouthpieces until I finally settled on the sound of a G&W E-1 for it. I have been switching back and forth from my concert euph with a 3D to my marching baritone with the G&W. I don't feel very weakened by it right now but am starting to get worried for my future playing abilities since All-Region try-outs are right at the end of marching season. If I had to switch mouthpieces it'd be to a Denis Wick SM3/SM4 or a Schilke 52E2 (if those'd help me) but I'm not as fond as the sound of those pieces on the horn.
Any opinions?
G&W E-1: 26.085mm (rim diameter)
Curry 3D: 26.4mm
Schilke 52E2: 25.91mm
Denis Wick SM3: 26.4mm
Denis Wick SM4: 26mm
