I've tried the Dillon G5B, Dillon F2B, Conn Helleberg, Kellyberg (Lexan), PT83, Schilke Helleberg II and a PT88 with my 56J. IMHO a bowl shaped mouthpiece yields a better result. Also, since the bore of the horn is fairly small, I recommend a rather large mouthpiece. I've found that the PT88 has been the best for me thus far. The rim and cup seem to be an ideal fit.
