Yeah the UK alto horn mouthpieces are quite open, I use the US Bach alto horn mouthpieces (really they should be called peck horn mouthpieces because its obvious they were made for the peck horn) which are shallower and less open then the UK alto horn mouthpieces, maybe you should try one of those for the increased resistance for the upper registers without sacrificing the middle and low register richness.

Aug 18, 2008 - Ace! I think this might be Ray Starling? Mouthpiece wise on the mellophonium I use a modified 2B Wick cornet number; Good from say a G above the staff to oblivion, but not a lot else! As a UK tenor (alto) horn player I also have a spun down alto mouthpiece that fits perfectly, but its quite hard work with very little resistance there, although it enhances the sound loads. If anyone wants to part with a Conn 1 mouthpiece or the F slide (I only have a 1967 Conn with the Eb slide) drop me a line!
