looking for a mouthpiece similar in specs to the Helleberg 7B model, but with the larger, euro shank for a Cervany 681 model tuba. Unfortunately, the Helleberg does not come in the larger shank, but, as one might expect, the intonation is a serious problem using the regular shank in the larger receiver. An adapter might improve the situation (if one exists), but a mouthpeice with the correct shank is what we really need. Any suggestions?

Would this one qualify? Anyone have experience with these?

IIRC, the 7B is supposed to be like the standard Helleberg but with a shallower cup. The Laskey F cup mouthpieces (28F, 30F) also fit this description and Dillon shows them as available in Euro shank. (I use a Laskey 28H Euro shank because I wanted more of the regular Helleberg style in a Euro shank).

not my money, for a student. Can't find an adaptor on the Dillon website. I will call them Monday. The Laskey sounds like my best bet otherwise.
