Well, it's that time of year again, and band camp is not so far over the hill. What exactly is the best pad for reducing the pain while carrying a King 2350? This 26-pound behemoth, even if it isn't a Jupiter, is made out of the Jupiter metal, which makes for hideous discomfort on those long practices, and since I am not as strong of shoulder as others in my section, I am wondering if anyone has used the Yamaha sousa shoulder pad, or if anyone has used anything better. Also, does anyone have an R&S Helleberg II that they feel the need to part with, or does anyone having this mouthpiece have any opinions about it? I'm thinking abotu getting something slightly smaller than the TU29 that I'm currently using.
