I completely agree with Tony. I simply do not understand why the 24AW is such a popular mouthpiece. It just doesn't make sense. The 18 is much better. I think the Conn Helleberg is an excellent mouthpiece, too. As for euphonium, the 6 1/2 AL seems to work well. None of the above mouthpieces is too big for most beginners. As for a comment made about the comfort of a Helleberg, most young students are not that sophisticated in their knowledge to know one from another. Whatever their teacher tells them is the best would make it the best.
