I still thought they were Conn HELLEBERG mouthpieces...

and yes, that is official C-S packaging.

I've been tryin' to tell folks that Conn-Selmer doesn't make EVERYTHING at Eastlake! A lot of stuff is simply repackaged there. This sort of thing has been going on in most all industries for decades now.

Where did you find that photo?
All of the Helleberg and other (former) UMI mouthpieces that I've recently received are in the yellow box with a yellow bristled mouthpiece brush. I have a half dozen each of the 18 and 24AW that just came in the other day in that configuration.

(UMI/King/Conn/CKB mouthpieces are mostly of German origin.)

What's wrong with a "HellebUI5" mouthpiece, anyway!? :shock: :D
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Actually found the PHOTO on *bay, but I've seen the box in person, at a local- reputable- music store.
