Kurt,
The first thing I noticed when trying out my first Rudolf Meinl tuba (a 3/4 CC) was that my Conn Helleberg didn't get it for this horn. A Rudolf Meinl 1, (standard, not HM 1), or a Rudolf Meinl 10 will provide better results. The 1 is somewhat like a Helleberg, and the 10 is deeper with a bowl, and will probably open up the low register. His mouthpieces have a back-cut shank, ie., they have a bevel in the end that significantly aids in response, since there is no step in the receiver on your horn.
