I play a Boosey 'n Hawkes Regent (smallish BBb axe, 15" bell), which came with a Benge 18 mouthpiece. I'm primarily a trombone player who doubles on tuba. My tuba teacher suggested that a Conn Helleberg mouthpiece might get my sound focused a bit better than the Benge, which he says looks like a knockoff of a Bach 18.

Which Helleberg corresponds (in terms of rim size) to the Benge 18?

Thanks,

Urb
