Conn 120-s Helleberg
This mouthpiece was great. It was definitely an improvement over the cheap Bachs that my high school made us use. I could tell a difference in my tone immediately, and after using this mouthpiece I could never go back. -
Great For Marching Band!!
Definatley a must buy for ALL Tuba players, marching or concert, this is the mouthpeice you need!! It helped me develop a characteristic sound, and definatley gave me the volume I needed during Marching season. You'll be blowing high F's like nobody's business!!! It's worth every penny you spend!...

I will be using the mouthpiece for my high school concert & marching band. And possibly Carolina Crown drum corps as well. I would appreciate comments you have about either mouthpiece but if you can give a comparison that would be great. Thank...

On a bobcat the end where the T adjustment arms are located cradle the cup of the mouthpiece. The bottom of the bobcat should be clamped around the mouthpiece right before it goes into the leadpipe of the trumpet. Make sure you use even tensioning so get the mouthpiece cradled

The pistons are free and 2 of the slides are free. There are dents and dings all over the horn. there are dents in the bell but it does not look like it has ever been crushed. I took pictures of the multiple solder places through out the horn. I also took a picture of a spot that looks like a split at one of the tuning slides, it may be a crude line, but it is hard to tell. I tried to clean it up as best I could so that you could see the engraving all along the bell and the different areas with solver marks.
