Yet another mouthpiece question
Does anybody make a Helleberg clone with a plastic rim?

Many blokepiece combinations. Look for a thread he had awhile back about his lexan rims. I got a lexan Modified Helleberg 32.6 for my Imperial, and it is my main mouthpiece. With all the different mix-and-match parts that bloke has available, I'm sure he has something that will work for you.

Re: Yet another mouthpiece question
My standard TU R cup is very close to a Helleberg shape, and the T cup is the same idea but deeper. I can make Lexan rims in any size and shape. I have 6 standard sizes and 3 shapes of each. TU 130 Flat Narrow is the regular Conn Helleberg. TU 130 Narrow is the same thing a bit more comfortable, without the flat spot on the top surface. All shank sizes are available from the extra small British shank to oversize Alex shanks.

I've been playing and loving the feel of the plastic rim for about a week now. That's what's brought me here today. Thanks all.
