The song is "Wenn mein Schatz Hochzeit macht" from Mahler's "
Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen".

[@1samron]

I haven't used a large shank mouthpiece before but I would like to know which size mouthpiece would be best for euphonium/baritone horn

[@mr.starfish4965]

People generally like mouthpieces like Schilke 51D, Steven Mead 4, Denis Wick 4AL, etc. Normal sizes for euphonium range from 25.4-26.4mm inner diameter.

Thanks!

[@Metal-Possum]

Are American feet different to English feet? I always knew a Euphonium to be around 9 feet, not 9 1/2 feet. Same as a British-style Baritone and the Trombone.

[@shaneerz9380]

They are both the same because American measurements are based on GB's foot

[@stevedickson4744]

American euphonia are in b-flat not e-flat like British ones, so maybe that’s the other 1/2 foot.

[@Metal-Possum]

@@stevedickson4744 Oh dude... No such thing as an E flat euphonium, they're ONLY available in B flat

[@miharuyutsuki1926]

Merci

What mouthpiece is he using?

[@mr.starfish4965]

Greg Black custom mouthpiece I think. This was also from 2017, so he may have stopped using it by now or even by then. I just know at one point he had a custom mouthpiece from Greg Black. Contact them and see if they can give you the specs on it if you want them.
