Don't think there is a dealer.
Suggest looking out for used models here or similar and buying/trying. If you don't like them, sell them on for the same sort of €€€
Rims, you should be able to make an educated guess on =)
Great mouthpieces, and so are the Parkers. Good amount of interchangeability across the range. Good luck!

Hallo Kontrabasstuba
Falls Du irgendwann in Berlin bist, könntest Du bei mir ein paar ausprobiern. Handwerklich top und funtionieren für die meistens Tuben sehr gut.

I’m also in Germany, near Nürnberg. You’re welcome to come try mine if you’d like. I’ll also be back in the states next week until Jan. 5th, and would be willing to proxy for you if you figure out what you’d like. A mouthpiece would be pretty easy to bring back when i return.

Dubby, i'm looking one for a big 6/4 Miraphone Hagen. My mouthpiece has a big bore sice. 9mm and the inner rim are 33 mm. Big for big ;-)
Did Sellmansberger made so big mouthpieces?

I can soon say how Symphony+Symphony combination works on my Nirschl Kaiser. Maybe even tomorrow!!

Took about 3 weeks for the box to come here and tax+toll was around 90e for my 2 rim and one cup (and shank) combination.

Can’t help you with choosing a mouthpiece for a Hagen as I’ve never played one, but I’ve been very happy with my Symphony+Symphony on all of the horns I’ve played. I’ll double check later what size my rim is too.

Even with Finnish postal service in christmas traffic, I managed to get the mouthpiece.
Remebered wrong the cup and shank, theyre both grand not symphonic. And now I have to wait for tomorrow to get to test them...
Rims were HLB2 33,5mm and TJ33,35mm.

Was extremely lucky with TJ, looking at the rim picture I thought TJ could be good for me even if the measures looked 'bit smaller' but it wasn't available on h-kote when I was making an order and luckily it was on sale in stainless.

Fast testing with mpc only feels good but can't say anything before I try with the tuba.

People change
Playing situations change
Choice of instruments change.

I ordered two mpc from Bloke and was very happy.
A couple of years later I ordered two more and was even happier.

Only one of the mpc’s and one of the rims tend to collect dust. The rest get a bit of action.

The nice thing about all the different parts is the ability to match and choose. If your wallet allows buy two mpc which differ and enjoy what you can discover about these new possibilities.

Good luck
Ps I’m in the Netherlands. You’re welcome to try what I got.
