I'm a big fan of PT's myself. For a good sized BBb, I think it's hard to go wrong with an 88, just save yourself some money and don't get the 88+.

I personally love the 72.

Wick 1L has all the depth of a Helleberg plus all the breadth you can use while maintaining excellent core and intonation, all at a moderate cup diameter and rim profile.

I am convinced that 90% of the problems with rhythm, tone, intonation, articulation, technique, and overall prowess on the horn are related to air issues.

While the stock response is:
GO TO A STORE AND TRY A BUNCH!!!!

IMHO, I've found the hellebergs very popular, and with good reason.I just thought mine was too small, I have a G&W Caver and absolutely love it, and a G&W Bayamo for ensemble stuff (bands, where i need not be as focused)
