Thanks!!! I suppose I'll stick with the Marcinkiewicz then :) I'll be sure to provide an update on it., hehe.

Thanks for the input, I guess everybody will have something different to say about the makeup of the mouthpiece, haha. What's your experience with the Marcinkiewicz?

I realize that the majority of horn players on this site are probably more accomplished with the mellophone than they are with the double horn, but I still figured this would be a great place to inquire about mouthpieces. I've been playing my Conn 8D for about a year now, and am looking to make a step up from the old Holton MDC that I am using. The inner diameter I'm looking for is around 17.5-18.0. Here are some of the mouthpieces I've been checking out recently. If anybody could provide additional suggestions for mouthpieces and/or comments on some of these, that would be keen :) Laskey 80G Schilke 30 Denis Wick Paxman in Silver Marcinkiewicz - Pro Line I've also heard about storks, but not enough to really know which ones to look out for. All in all, I just want something that is good all-around like the MDC, only better and with as little compromise as possible. Thanks! Side note: Does the material of the mouthpiece really make a difference? I've heard a high silver content is beneficial in some way.
