I've got a TU23 (C4) on trial now..... I like it better than my JK 4C. The rim is wider and the cup is less deep, wich is good for my trombone chops (trombone is my main instrument) [= more responsive/ immediate]. The design of the pieces look exactly the same, except that the miraphone is a thad longer..... *wonders if that affects response as well*

Most larger helleberg mouthpieces work well. My favorite is the Laskey 30H.
You also might try a PT48 or PT88.
No one who tells you what you want to hear at someone else's detriment is acting in your best interest.

I can say for sure after having played on JKs and a few Miraphone mouthpieces that this one will probably work quite well. Considering that Miraphone includes one with a new horn, to say the least, that's a vote of confidence. The mouthpieces are near the upper-mid range of the spectrum in price, but give it a try.
That being said, I'll be glad to sell you a nearly new TU-31(Mirafone Helleberg style)for a greatly reduced price. It even has the Helleberg look as opposed to some that use a Bach-style blank. PM if interested.
