Helleberg Modified in 32.6 mm. HLB2 in 32.6. #2 in 33.2 mm.

Though, I would honestly be more interested[*] in 32.6 mm depth *reduced* rims. :)

I'd like to see your Modified Helleberg in 32.6 for the Imperial in about a .08 to a .09 deeper, not the full 1/8 inch or .12 deeper. The full 1/8 goes beyond adding depth of tone and slows response. See my other posts how, on your recommendation, I sanded down an extender to .08 from .160 to get the best balance of tone and response for me.

You should do all of it !

Anyway, it's not a big deal to make it happen in a technical way. And people might be interested to get one for a try ;)

I'd go for the 33.2mm Helleberg - that sharp inner rim seems to work best for me, and I use it on all of the Blokepieces I have (one of each and two of some).
