I've used a series of mouthpiece on my 186 over the years. The first was an old PT-1, similar to the PT-36 mentioned by another. I replaced that one with a Miraphone Rose Orchestra (sorry, I don't know the current designation). The Rose Orchestra was a good all-round mouthpiece. But I'm now using a PT-48, and the resulting tone on the instrument can only be described as powerful and commanding, with a strong core to the sound and a lot of color. I have also used a Conn Helleberg, and I know several others that still use Hellebergs on their Miraphones. They like them better than I do.
