I have been using a Mike Finn 2 on my new Besson 983. I tried a smaller mouthpiece, but it made the low end more difficult for me. The MF2 just opens up this horn. I find that I can easily play the pedal Eb down to a pedal Bb on this horn with it. The pedal Bb is even easier than on my King 2341 with my Doug Elliott R cup. I did find the 4 to make the high range, above the Eb above the staff, a little clearer, but I rarely play there anyway, and it gave me trouble with the low range, so I am sticking with the 2.

That said, I really appreciated Mike's help with evaluating mouthpieces and you won't find a nicer guy.
