Post by ken k »

What is the difference between the regular schilke helleberg and the schilke helleberg II? When I see a II for sale the price is much more than the regualr schilke helleberg. what's up?

From the Schilke website:

MODEL mm inches Description
62 31.85 1.254 A superior standard mouthpiece with a good centered sound and easy response in the high and low register with good intonation. Also recommended for Eb or F tuba.
66 31.52 1.241 Designed from the original Helleberg, this mouthpiece offers a smaller inside cup diameter but still produces a rich tone quality with a wealth of volume.
67 32.41 1.276 Similar to the foregoing Helleberg model, but slightly larger. The contour is also similar to the #66 but offers improved tonal response.
SH 31.84 1.253 This Schilke "Helleberg" model offers a rim contour that is different from our #66. This mouthpiece produces a sound that is clear and dark.
SH II 32.76 1.290 This mouthpiece is a variation of our SH with a larger inside cup diameter than our model 67. With a contoured rim and greater cup volume, this mouthpiece can produce a very large and deep sound with excellent flexability. Presently this is available as a custom mouthpiece only.
69C4 32.76 1.290 With a very comfortable rim and cup that is not too deep, the 69C4 offers an excellent characteristic sound and facilitates all registers of the instrument.
