Tuba mp

[soundministries]

Tuba players, what type of MP do you all use? I normally use a Conn Helleberg in a gold plate, but just picked up the R&S Helleberg copy in a heavy weight.http://images.wwbw.com/products/full/Jet%20Tone/73164.jpg
Haven't had the chance to try it on the horn yet, but with buzzing it feels just like my Conn. I'm a little curious to see if the heavy wall actually makes a difference in my playing or if it is all hype.

The heavy mouthpieces do play differently than comparable regular mouthpieces for trumpet, supposedly a darker sound and better intonation.

Good luck with it! I don't know how a tuba version will react.
