Wessex Baritone Horn Mouthpiece #6-½ A, Silver-Plated w/ Velcro Pouch, from Wessex Tubas brand in U.K.

Not sure if they make the mouthpieces in the U.K. or not. Usually they copy whatever is the most popular or common mouthpiece, which probably is either Bach or Yamaha would be my guess. They didn't list specs and I don't know how to measure them without household devices. As you can see though, it is a V-Taper vs. U-Cup style mouthpiece.

I can't use Silver-Plated mouthpieces due to allergies, and bought a Gold-Plated Denis Wick Baritone Horn Mouthpiece as a result. I also already have a pouch for that one, so can let this one go with its Wessex velcro pouch, which is a nice one.

This is standard shank size, which Wick calls Large due to different standards in the U.K. and Europe. This is for the British-style Baritone Horn (which is smaller than the rare American models such as those from King, that are more like variations on a Euphonium), but it should work on some American-style models as my Wick worked on a King model.

As the Wessex Baritone Horn seems influenced by the intermediate Yamaha model, I am guessing that this mouthpiece is compatible with the Yamaha models that are more common here in the U.S.A. but have no way of verifying that.
