So, I just picked up a box of 9 mouthpieces for $78 at a sale :D
They are all either large shank or Remington shank. But, I don't actually have a horn that takes a standard large shank...
As I measure them, they all come in very close to 14mm where they meet the lead pipe.
The Remington is 13.1mm at the small end. The others vary a bit, but they are about 12.8mm at the small end. Does that jive with a standard large shank MP?
Here's the list:
Remington
Bach 1G
Bach 1-1/4 GM
Bach Corp 5GS
Getzen 1-1/2 G
Schilke 59
Schilke 60 (fancy gold plate)
Warburton J.O.
Warburton Toronto 2B
Suddenly, I'm wealthy with mouthpieces!
Cheers, mike

Bachs would be marked with an R if they were Remington shank. Getzens are not offered in that shank.
Probably only the Remington has that taper.

Correct. Standard large shanks would be around 12.6 to 12.8 at the small end.

Why don’t you sell them all for 40-60 dollars a piece and buy what you reallly want?
Play a couple to see how they feel on your face, watch and learn how rims and cups change aspects of your playing, clean them up, and sell them.
And then with your $450, buy what you really want.

Honestly, I've never sold anything on ebay or such... I'm kind of a big chicken about all that.
Seriously though, I've been considering buying a bass trombone. I had toyed with the idea of getting an old 71H like I played in school way back in the day. But, it used Remington shank MP's...

1. It's not hard at all.
2. The mouthpiece supplied with the 71H was (I believe) a Conn Connstellation 3B, with (of course) a Remington taper shank. It's a wonderful combination. I also have a Schilke 58 with a Remington shank that works well with the 71H. :idea:
