I learned something, I thought the Imperial cup was a shallower version of the Symphony. I guess I had that wrong.

The spec sheet is really cool if you open the PDF and then choose which Layers to display. Then you can compare any number of rims that you want to see, instead of viewing the static PDF of every rim all together.

A low-tech solution to showing the differences... would really look great as a Website tool.

Question about the old two piece mouthpieces, the difference between the old Solo 1 and Solo 2 underpart is now the difference between the Solo 1 and Solo 2 backbore? Cup was unchanged in the older two piece Solos? Thanks.

I can vouch for the Imperial cup with an extender makes a very versatile not-too-deep mouthpiece. Using the extender allows you to tailor the mouthpiece by taking a little off the thickness to really fine tune a player's embouchure and breath support to the tuba with the desired cup depth and response. It is my #1 with the 32.6 lexan HB-Mod rim on my Bessophone. Except for a Jim New custom-18 in the same rim I.D. and .323 throat (instead of Bach's nominal 1.26 cup I.D. and large throat) for souzy and a backup Kelly 18 just because, I sold all my other mouthpieces.

Is there a way to get the spec sheet reposted? I don't see it in this thread.

Not sure if this whole discussion still belongs here after everything that has happened, but the spec sheet for the Sellmansberger and Parker lines is available on Mr. Houser's website.
