Firstly are you using a large or small shank trombone mouthpiece. I have a belgian valve trombone from around the late 1800s, and that accepts a regular bach 12c just fine (I did try it with a 6 1/2 AL but it just sounded wrong). Failing that, I spent a good while playing a small bore Boosey+Hawkes tuba on a Bach 24 with the shank lathed down, and that was a great mouthpiece - if you know someone good to do the metalwork.

I hope you find something that fits - mine is the best jazz trombone I have ever played.

James.

PS - it's terrible for anything else :)
