all I can say is look into mouthpieces with smaller shanks.
Alot of early 20th century Eb tubas had a smaller reciever. I know that the Wick line of mouthpieces are standard with a small shank, and a PT can be ordered with a small shank. I'm sure most mouthpiece companies have that option.
Also, what type of Helleburg are you using? Conn, Conn 7B, Shilke, Shilke II?
I don't know about the Buescher piece, but a standard Conn or a Shilke Helleberg II might be too deep a cup. I would make suggestions.. But I don't know enough about good Eb mouthpieces yet.
Good luck on the search,
Steve C
