My mouthpiece of choice for my 20j is a Giardinelli Helleberg. I cannot give you any specs on it but it is quite different than the Conn or the Schilke. It is somewhat Marcinkewicz like I have been told. It has a great open back bore so I get more air moving and the low register just screams on it. There is a gentleman in my community band who actually plays a Bach 25 on his 24j. However his tone quality is just awful with it. I agree with Joe's suggestion on the 69C4. Joe will sell you one with a more open backbore which it needs for the 2xj horns. I will have pictures of my Giardinelli next week. I just sent it back to Lee Stofer to get replated.
