Steve & Rick:
I believe that's the Schillke 67. It's a little more open & bassy than the Hell'berg 7B. It's somewhere between the 7B & the regular Conn Helleberg. Kinder rim than the C.H. too. There's also a Schillke 69 (not C4), but that's probably too big. Or tried a Conn 2 yet? -very similar to 7B.
The Schillke 67 I own also has a really thin wall exit at the end of of what seems to be a pretty full backbore. I don't know if they're all still made this way or not (mine's at least 12 years old), but this seems to open things up a bit as well. I haven't seen other mpc's with this wide of an exit. Don't drop it--shank deforms even more easily than most.
Happy hunting!
