Following a recommendation by Jay Bertolet, I recently bought R & S heavywall copies of the Schilke Helleberg II copy and Conn Helleberg for use on my Ceverny ACB-601. The difference was easily apparent. On both mouthpieces, notes slotted more easily, tone was more focused, and my sound was far more resonant. The horn "came alive" in my hands; I could feel far more vibratio in the horn as I was playing. Several of my band neighbors made fun of the wierd look of the mouthpiece, but commented on the improvement on the sound. At least for the thin-brassed 601, I'm convinced.
