The Schilke has slightly bigger inside diameter (32.75) than the Miraphone C4 (32.5).
Schilke also has a fat rounded rim and sharp rnough inside bite. I think the Schilke is
better quality AND better price.
It is true that Miraphone mouthpieces work very well on Miraphone tubas, if you play a Miraphone tuba, a Miraphone mouthpeice is an excellent choice..you know the shank will fit perfectly.
My friend plays a Schilke 69C4 on his Miraphone 186 and sounds quite good, the sound is on the bright side but response is great and high range well-supported. The 69C4 is also a great F tuba mouthpiece, I know Josef Badzinka has been using one on his Apollo F for many years.
I say go for the Schilke..
