Go out to a musicstore you know and try every mouthpiece they have. make a selection of 3 or 4 mouthpieces of witch you think they suite you. If it is a good store you can try them at home for a while. Make your dicision based on your own judgement, try not to look at brand or comments by a salesman. Use commen sense, and know that it is 'just' a mouthpiece. The most important thing behind the horn are your own lips.....

Good Luck

That's good advice, to try many at one time. What you have to look for is is how freely the mouthpiece lets you play, good intonation, and how easy it is to go from low to high.

Of course, the sound is the most important after you find that you are comfortable.

Good luck, it's not easy to find the perfect mouthpiece.

And... once you pick one... stick with it for at least a month (two is better).

When i found mine, I spent a day at the Schilke factory Downtone Chicago try every size mouth piece in silver and goldplate until i came to find a 3C is best for me! Even though I didn't buy a Schilke Mouthpiece they still were nice enough to let me try all the sizes.
