1. Is a helleberg good for Pedal tones?
2. Does a helleberg have good projection of sound?
3. Is a helleberg 120s good for a kng 2350?
4. Would be able to get really loud on it?

If you know how to work it, yes to all the above!

I have a regular helleberg and a 7b, and they're both good mouthpieces. The basic Helleberg gives a little bigger sound.

*Serious note: Try them! Only you can determine what works for you.

Great Mouthpiece, used to be my "everything" mouthpiece before I got my 188 and started experimenting, etc. Keep it in good shape, and it should be good for all your needs. Well maybe not Bydlo...

The Helleberg design is one of the standard all-around mouthpieces for BBb/CC tuba playing because it can do just about everything you may want to do from now until you graduate college.
I played one all the way through college bands (marching and concert) at NC State University. I never had to worry about my mouthpiece limiting my playing whether I was on a football field playing FFF or covering the string bass cues at pp during a clarinet solo.

The only downside - Either it fits your face or it doesn't. I think that's why they make it in 2 different sizes.

In all it's a good mouthpiece, but I would only use it for American horns. Also, make sure that you aren't just using a big mouthpiece to cover up embochure problems. I've seen it happen before.
