Hey, nice video! Those Ebs (and even some of the smaller-bodied Leningrad factory Bbs) use a smaller Eb tuba shank receiver. If you want to try some more mouthpiece options you might test some american large shank bass trombone mouthpieces. Sometimes they're too small but they're often quite close.
Hello sir. I enjoyed both your soviet tuba videos. I have a question, would you say that mouthpiece is a regular european shank size or is it a total different odd thing? Thanks in advance.
@@carlostejeda330 I'm not sure, but I'm guessing a European shank mouthpiece would be the way to go. The mouthpiece that came with the horn is definitely not an American shank. However, it doesn't go too far in, and I don't have a "normal" European mouthpiece to test with, so I don't know if the tuba's receiver is too small or if the mouthpiece's shank is too big. It still works, so no complaints, but I do wonder.
I see you actually did make a video about the construction! Cool!

Thanks! I'd like to see if there's a mouthpiece that can preserve the resonance but help stabilize the highest notes.
