I would think that for $300-400 Canadian you could buy just about any mouthpiece you want. Most tuba mouthpieces should cost between $80-$200 Canadian. I agree with Klaus that the Dennis Wick mouthpieces with the "English" shank, not the "L" model, work best with this, but I prefer the model 2 vs. the model 1. I had a Boosey & Hawkes tuba of similar vintage that I sold about a year ago on which I tried both, and the model 1 was just too large to allow me to play with consistent intonation.

Either mouthpiece should be available for a little more than $50 US, which translates to about $80 Canadian.
