What on earth does the following paragraph mean? I play Eflat and BBflat and have no idea what transposing a forth and using the lower register means. I learned two different sets of fingerings and I have two very different mouthpieces. The two tubas I own have radically different bore sizes.

You are bidding on one Brand New BACH TUBA SOUSAPHONE MOUTHPIECE MEGATONE 7
With the exception of the "junior" mouthpieces, Nos. 30E and 32E, Bach tuba mouthpieces can be used equally well on BBb and Eb tuba. There is no good reason for making mouthpieces for Eb tuba any smaller or shallower because a player using an Eb tuba actually transposes a fourth and uses the instrument in the lower register, for which a larger-sized mouthpiece is to be given preference. Models 7, 12, 24W and 24AW have larger backbores.
