G+W Kronos

Kronos
The Kronos is the newest of our tuba mouthpieces. It is different than any of our other mouthpiece for tuba. With a relatively sharp rim with a medium cup and backbore. This mouthpiece is designed for somebody who wants an original Helleberg, but in stainless steel. This is a copy of the smaller of the original Helleberg mouthpieces, with an updated rim and in stainless steel. The Kronos is 1.260 inches at the rim diameter and the back bore is only .295 inch.
Who's got one?

Whaddaya think about it? This is a fair amount smaller than their others. Easier to play/control than most? Does the sound get too bright?

Thanks.

I use one on an antique pea-shooter Eb helicon of uncertain vintage.

It's a mouthpiece.
