I know that Arnold Jacobs had one of these made by schilke and according to Jim Self's web page he has a Mirafone Signature line mouthpiece that has a 6 1/2AL cup and a standard tuba rim. This seems like an ideal solution for those of us that are primarily tuba players but want to be able to expand our future earning potential by picking up the trombone and euphonium on the side. I can already carry over most of my skills from tuba to trombone using standard equipment but it seems like this would circumvent having to develop new muscle tissue and nerve pathways when I can already accomplish the same tasks in that range on a larger rim. First off, am I just being silly here? There must be something to this if the big guys found a need to use this kind of equipment. Second, and most important, does anyone have any leads on where to actually purchase this kind of equipment?

cheers!
