Re: Anyone playing a French bass with a German mouthpiece?

Clarsax,

Using calipers on the bass mouthpiece, the outside diameter of the tenon, including the thickness of the O rings, is 26.95, the depth is 19.1, and the bore is a "Narrow Wurlitzer," and comes out at about the 19.5 he specifies on the website. But this is for a German bore bass, not a typical Boehm bass. Jochen S. makes a bass with Boehm fingering and a German bore in the style of Wurlitzer and the old Uebels, and I believe Stephen Fox has at least messed around with those, but I don't know that anyone else offers it. So the outside diameter of the mouthpiece is about what you'd expect for a typical Boehm basset horn, and I don't know that the tuning and sound would work for a typical Boehm bass. I haven't tried one of Gleichweit's Boehm bass mouthpieces.
