I have never played a 12, but I do own a Bach 7. I also don't own a PT-50 (I based my recommendation to try it on its published description--it's like a Helleberg only bigger--thus meeting the specifications). But I own a PT-48, which is more bowl shaped. The TE Rose is deeper than the PT-48, but with about the same cup volume. I suspect the PT48 is sort of between the TE Rose and the Bach 7, with the Bach being even more cup-shaped, but deeper than the 48. The 50 is probably more like the TE Rose than it is the Bach mouthpieces.

I haven't played the Bach 7 since I got the Elliott mouthpiece. It seemed huge to me when I got it, but it doesn't any more, and perhaps the 7 would not seem like so much of a toilet bowl as it did before. Since getting the Elliott, however, I haven't been tempted to experiment much.
