ISO a Floyd Cooley Helleberg in Gold plate, or someone to talk me into something better for a Meinl Weston 3450.

Laskey 28H works well for me in a 3450. Just a suggestion

I was considering the laskey line but don’t know a whole lot about them. What is the difference between the 28h and 30h?

A small difference in inside cup diameter. 1.280 in. vs 1.295. I've used both fine, but these days I think a small mpc helps concentrate my buzz more

Makes total sense! I’ve been playing on relatively large mouthpieces for a long time (friends used to make fun of me for playing a Bach 1.25gm on euphonium!) so I’ll likely go with the 30h if I Decide to go with the laskey line. Thanks for the info!

Will consider Laskey 30h, Olka cb1/cb2, or Arnold jacobs heritage, all in gold plate.
