Holy Cow Paul! You should be using something deeper on that tuba. Or at least I would. If you really like the Miraphones, maybe you could try one of these below (other than the shallow TU23):

TU 23 Shallow, 1.452", bore .295", cup diameter 1.280"
TU 25 Rose Orchestral, very deep cup, 1.799", bore .323, cup diameter 1.287"
TU 29 Very deep 1.736", bore .323", cup diameter 1.299"
TU31 Helleberg, Deep cup, 1.665", bore .326", cup diameter 1.299"
TU 33 Very deep 1.767", bore .330", cup diameter 1.318"
TU 41 Theinert Orchestral, very deep 1.771", bore .354", cup diameter 1.299", gold plated

Personally, I would also try a PT 48, PT50, and a PT88 on that 2155. I suspect a deeper more open mouthpiece will open up a whole new sound for you.

Hope this helps,
Greg Allen
