Hey Yo!
I'm switching from alto to bari to play in our city band, and was wondering if anyone had any helpful suggestions for a mouthpiece that would work. I believe the bari is a Yamaha, or a vintage Buescher, and if it helps at all, my alto set up is a '68 Mark VI with a Brilhart Tonalin or Meyer LE NY, either with Java 3's or RJS 3s. Thanks loads!

I guess that's going to be hard for anyone to really answer, what will work best for you. I can say that I started on alto and when I added bari, I bought a Jody Jazz in a 10 or 11, and had no problem with it, really nice piece, versatile, reliable and fun. The JJ, or the Runyon Custom - on which the JJ is built - would be a pretty safe bet in my opinion, fwiw.

Disclaimer, I'm no pro, just stating what worked for me, maybe it will work for you (since nobody else is answering:)
