I have a Sanders 3/4, a little larger than a piggy and I find that my
Helleberg is too large for a horn this size. I live close to Custom
Music so I sat there one afternoon and tried all the mouthpieces. I
settled on a PT-36. I found I got a much better sound (and focused
sound). It fits the horn better. It seems to have a funnel cup and
not too open of a throat. I have been experimenting with my old
Giardinelli WE-24 (Warren Deck model) and it gives a darker sound,
better when I'm playing orchestra excerpts. Overall though, the PT-36
is a better fit for the horn. This was a few years ago and mine was a
birthday gift so I have no idea what the cost is now.
Good luck-
Michael
