If you have an older Eb you may want to go smaller as was mentioned by Mark. I have an old 1920's vintage baritone and its intonation is horribel with anything begger than a 12c. I think many of these older horn were designed with smaller mouthpieces in mind. With that in mind try some smaller Denis Wick mouthpece like the 4 or 5. If your tuba has a full sized receiver get a 4L or 5L if it has the smaller receiver get a 4 or 5. These mouthpieces are pretty small but may do the job for you. Or if you want to stay more main stream you may want to try a Conn Helleberg 7B.
