Does anyone know what is a good mouthpiece for the ysl-653? Mine got dented and doesn't play right anymore, so do any of you guys know?

Have played mine with a Schike 50 since 1974

What were you playing that got damaged? I would just get the same thing.

Basically anything from a Bach 15 size to a Bach 6 size has been used (Schilke/Yamaha 42 to 51).

What exactly happened to the mouthpiece? Some damages can be repaired.

I play a 651, and it definitely does better on the smaller pieces. It likes my DE C cup better than the D cup. It's a light horn, so I think it needs a smaller mouthpiece. I'd say 7c-11c-ish. It depends on if you're playing a lot of high range with it, too.
