Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For CC tuba players, the Heritage Series 2.5CC is a medium-large Helleberg-type mouthpiece with a 32mm cup diameter and 8.6mm throat. Its backbore received specific attention for intonation on CC tubas, making that instrument context central to the model’s purpose. Heritage construction combines a thin 1.2mm cup wall near the rim with greater metal mass at the cup bottom; the series is described as rich, responsive, and easier in the high register. The rim and cup are gold-plated over a silver-plated body.
