A few 'tuba-doubling' bass trombonists that I know swear by the Denis Wick 2 or 3XL. Narrow cup that's not much bigger than a large bass bone mp. A wider cushioned rim to give more surface area to help control the OH embouchure (vs an OO like on trombone) and also to help with endurance. They ...

I have 2 students looking and ready to buy. I know one other person also looking.

Let me know what you've got.

Thanks,

Also there are two of the new 97/2's in use in Vienna....Paul Halwax plays a 4-valve and Christoph Gigler has a 5 valved one

This Fafner is the real deal! I sold it to Andy after using acquiring it for, and using it with, the Lyric Opera in Jan 2020. The section loved it. I used it on Mahler 1, Prokofiev R&J, and a variety of other settings. This is a pro's horn for sure. I've owned two Fafners and they are both ...
