Also, I believe, the 7B was used by John Fletcher more than is given credit for on the Eb.bloke wrote:Conn 2/7B is an OK mouthpiece...' not terribly dissimilar to the Laskey 30H.

He said one reason for chosing this mouthpiece is that he could find one anywhere should his get lost. I have one, typical flat Conn rim with a well defined inner edge, funnel style cup, a good mpc for those who don't require a really big one.
Anyone know the story about Jacobs sending Fletcher a Helleberg or two to use - presumably for the Holton C?
24AW's work great for a lot of players over here but I can see if folks grow up used to quite different designs, it might seem like a strange choice.
I've just switched on Eb from a shallow piece to a much deeper one with a pretty large throat (ie. quite 24AW-esque in those regards), but with a narrower rim and a wider opening internal diameter.
