I started out, at about the age of 15, on a Schilke Helleberg II, which is not usually considered a first mouthpiece, but it worked for me quite well, as I still use it as my primary mouthpiece.
I used it on little 3 banger Yamahas, a 186, an Alexander 163 and now my Meinl 2145. Pretty versatile little thing.
