Something between a PT82 and PT88

I have a PT82 and PT88 mouthpiece, but i'm looking for something in between: Bowl shaped, 33mm cup diameter and not too deep.
One tip I received was the Miraphone TU27 Rose Solo.
Occasionally I like to put the PT82 on my Conn 20K or Cerveny Arion B Tuba, but the 32.5mm doesn't work for me. It's too narrow.
Are the JK's bowl shaped? Is the JK 4B or 4C comparable to the PT82?
Any tips are welcome.
Thanks!

A Curry 130G should do nicely. Love those Curry mouthpieces.....

Try a Miraphone TU29. 33mm, bowl shaped, not quite as deep as a PT88. Slightly more bite on rim. Still has a fat sound.
The TU27 is a very different piece. A great one, and I love it in my horn, but not like a PT88. Much shallower. You lose some of the big sound, but gain on agility. It centers pitches quite well in my horn. Really comfy rim.
As always, YMMV.

Thanks all! Too bad we don't have stores with Geibs and Currys

. Means I have to gamble and possible end up with even more mouthpieces in my drawer

You just promoted the TU27
