I had similar problems when I tried a Helleburg II style mouthpiece. I worked with it for over a year, but had problems with pitch, centering the sound, and the low register. Other people tried the mouthpiece, and it seemed to work for them; it just wasn't the right mouthpiece for me. I bought one of the Rose Orchestral mouthpieces from Dillon's (OK, it was one of their eBay auctions) and really like it for large groups (plus, I paid less than $50 for it). For smaller groups and solo work, I still like playing a regular Conn Helleburg (not 7B), although the reciever on my horn swallows the shank.
