According to the Schilke site, they have:
62 31.85mm cup
66 31.52mm cup
67 32.41mm cup
69C4 32.76mm cup
S-H 31.84mm cup
(no Schilke Helleberg II mpc listed -- I ASSUMED this was the S-H mpc. Read on.)
I'm looking for a smaller-ish Helleberg mpc, so I've ordered the Conn 7B, the Schilke 67 and the Schilke Helleberg II, which I ASSUMED WAS the S-H mpc (31.84mm cup).
To my surprise, the Schilke Helleberg II has a 33mm cup diameter -- virtually the same size mpc as the Conn Helleberg (the bigger one), but with a nice, comfy rounded rim. So it would seem that I didn't receive what I was hoping I'd get -- the S-H mpc. If I understood the salesman at WW&BW, they didn't seem to have a S-H mpc in their catalog -- only the Helleberg II.
Can anyone tell me whether these are supposed to be the same mpc, or not? Based on the size of the Helleberg II, I'd have to say NOT, but then where would I find a S-H (31.84mm cup) mpc?
Curious,
