Does the mouthpiece sit too low, when you use the "parallel circle" method that Joe S so often has advocated (and which I use on my BBb 40K)?

If so you can elevate it a bit by joining the two bits, so that they form a very narrow S. That is that the narrow end of the one, that goes into the neck, is parallel to the fat end of the one, that takes the mouthpiece.

Then the sideways angle can only be adjusted by means of the neck. Not yours of course, but that of the sousa.

This is the method, that I use on my smaller Eb 26K.
