I use the Ofenloch mouthpiece (made by Jeff Parke) on my PT-6. It is a very good mouthpiece for me. Has really opened up my low register and cleaned up my slurs. It also helped to focus the attacks, making them speak quicker (that's what people have told me). It's a heavy-wall mouthpiece that keeps the same thickness throughout the shape of the cup. Looks like a big funnel. The rim is very thick and took me awhile to get used to after playing Conn 7B's and the Canadian Brass' Arnold Jacobs mouthpiece. I know that Toby Hanks has one, and Warren Deck should have his by now. Warren actually helped Gary design it several years ago.
Gary tells me that he used this mouthpiece on his 6/4 Deck model during the recording of "Saving Private Ryan". If you want to hear that combination, check out the soundtrack.
