I think Louis Armstrong did not use the center either. High school,
playing Trumpet, French horn I used the center. But I was not as talented
as Scachmo.

Being a 26 year veteran of the baritone and tuba I used the center. Of
course those have larger mouthpieces too!


Jr. HS teacher wanted me to do the tuba, as I was 6'+ and could carry it.
Mouth piece felt like 1/2 your head fit in to it. Did not like the tuba.

That was my main instrument. Afterwards switching to baritone I felt I was playing a pea shooter. Couldn't handle trumpet
