The Helleberg Series is named for August Helleberg, the principal tubist in the Sousa Band. The Model 120-S mouthpiece produces excellent volume with a deep, organ-like tone, while the Model 7B produces a brighter tone with more volume.
Recently purchasing a student model 3/4 size BBb (YBB103) tuba for use in German and Dixieland bands, I was stuck for a mouthpiece. The model that came with the horn and the two others that I had lying around were not well suited for this horn. A friend recommended the Helleberg 7B, so I started shopping. The Guitar Center offered the lowest price and fastest service -it arrived within 4 days! - and I have been very happy since. The little tuba has great tone and now, the 7B allows me to center the pitch in all registers, from BBb0 to F4 and above. Thank you Guitar Center!
I'm a senior in high school and have been playing since 6th grade. When it came time to upgrade from my Bach 18 that I had for so long, I got this. I've marched it, played symphonic band with it, and everything in between. It has a great, solid tone. Very deep, not brassy at all. My range has extended from BBBb to F above the staff! One time, during a football game, we were standing at the top of the stand and I was blowing in my mouthpiece to keep it warm. I dropped this thing from the VERY top of the stands. When someone brought it up to me, the shaft had a VERY small, almost unnoticeable dent in it and the rim had one scratch. THAT is truly amazing. If you're a serious player, or if you're even thinking of just upgrading to something better, get this. You won't regret it. I lost mine, and I'm going to day to get another one.
