HylianHero Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 So, I'm going to try out for a corps this fall, (I'll give you three guesses who), and I decided that I want to buy a mouthpiece for a large bore baritone. I'm also playing a bass bone in jazz band which has the same bore as the baritone. I was hoping that I could get a mouthpiece that could double as my bass bone and baritone mouthpiece. I have been looking at Schilke's lately, and I really love the mouthpiece line. I was wondering what is the best Schilke mouthpiece for drum corps, I believe in the past I've heard that 52D's are a good choice. I played on one today on a bass bone, and I've played one in marching band before, so if you could, may I have some good suggestions on a choice.

I just wanted to point out that baritones usually use a small-shank (tenor trombone) mouthpiece, and the bass bone will use a large-shank mp. Euphoniums usually use a large-shank mp. Just FYI...

Euph_Dolphin Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) ya what willard said, i've never herd of a large bore marching baritone, well yamaha's have like a medium bore from what i remeber, but what i'd say, is that a baritone and a bass trombone would need way different sized pieces, i'd use say a 51 or 52D for a bari, and like a bach 1G or shilke 60 for bass bone....i like big mouthpieces, so its also on your own preferance, also the corps would probably give you a size they would want you to use.

HylianHero Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 (edited) I'm confused now because: I borrowed a 52D, very nice mouthpiece by the way from a friend today, and he uses it in a Yamaha YBH-301M marching baritone, and I tryed it in the bass bone that I'm playing and it fit fine. I don't really know exactly why, and I can't find the model of bass bone, but it's a yamaha as well. The mouthpiece definetely wasn't the wrong size for the bass bone. They're both large shank instruments I guess, I don't know. Edited August 25, 2005 by HylianHero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euph_Dolphin Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 yamaha bari's have a larger bore than others, you should check what type of horn the corps is using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HylianHero Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 I'm fairly sure that it is a King 1127. I went to their February camp this winter and I know they were kings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 just because your horns are both large shank doesnt mean to use any large shank mouthpiece. I think you may be confused; we are trying to find you the right mouthpiece to play for a marching horn. A Schilke 51D or 52(D) would go great with those king horns. Look for a size around 1G for your bass bone. Hope that helps! Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HylianHero Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Yeah, that's what I'm trying to find too. I know just because they're large shank doesn't mean you should use any large shank mouthpiece on the horn. Ah, if I had the money for a 1G. I guess I will continue with what I'm playing on. ;) Sorry about all the trouble, but yes, I believe I should buy a 52D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euph_Dolphin Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 sounds good, now with the bass bone, if you wanna get real crazy, ive dicovered that a Tuba Helleburg mouthpiece will fit in large bore bass bones/marching euphs.......hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
