Last week when I was at marching band camp jazz band came up while I was talking to another band director/tuba/bass trombone player and I told him I play bass trombone. he suggested that I use my tuba mouthpiece on the bass when playing notes in and below the staff. I have tried this before but it is very out of tune i told him (I use just a plain 24AW) and he said that i should buy a big trombone mouthpiece or a small tuba mouthpiece but he said that a small tuba mouthpiece would work best because i am a tuba player. I don't have a problem with hitting any notes its just a problem of bringing the lower notes out more. Any comments or suggestions about a mouthpiece from someone who has gone through this would be greatly apreciated.
