I'm trying out an old Conn 10J tuba, and really like it, but I'm having a tough time in the low range. I just can't get it to speak, and when it does speak it doesn't slot.
I have two mouthpieces, a knockoff 24AW and a Conn Helleberg (I THINK it's a 7B, but it's not marked). I've tried both with similar effects. Does it seem reasonable that a larger mouthpiece might help?
Thanks to all,
Joe B.
