Soo, just picked up the bass trombone after 4 years on tenor... I used the basic 6 1/2 AL for tenor. Now that I am using a bass I am using the 1 1/2G. Now everytime I pickup the tenor I'm having trouble playing on the smaller mouthpiece. Is this normal or should I try and switch to a larger tenor mouthpiece to compensate? Any advice would be helpful.

Normally for me when I switch

Normally for me when I switch back to tenor after playing a bass I have to adjust to the tenor mouth piece which is a Schilke 47B

But is the mouthpiece

But is the mouthpiece supposed to feel different thus making you sound thin until you adjust to the mouthpiece?

When I switch the mouthpiece

When I switch the mouthpiece feels different and ya I guess at first my sound was thin but after getting used to it and learning how to adjust from the bass and tenor your tone and sound should improve.
