My experience, from years ago, was that sousaphone mouthpiece bits lined best when I
played more to the side of the embouchure than I normally would. This didn't
cause me any permanent problems though.
Otherwise, the temptation is to play obnoxiously loud at all times
with a braking tone. If one were to carry this "style" of playing over to the concert band, it would definitely have a negative effect on one's playing!
