I own, and love, an original Heleberg that I bought a over a year ago from an antique shop. This is one of those with the rim that some say is a torture tool, but for me it is the ultimate mouthpiece. I am hoping to find another one for a second horn. I am trying the Shilke 66 (which they advertise as a copy of the original Heleberg) and while it appears to be very similar the rim does not have the same feel and the response is not the same.
I would like to hear any suggestions any of you might have for a mouthpiece to match the Heleberg. (Obviously my problem would be solved if I could find another original; if anyone is looking to part with one, please advise.)
