Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Heritage Series 2L is a silver-bodied tuba mouthpiece built around a 32 mm, large funnel-shaped Helleberg cup and an 8.45 mm throat. Denis Wick specifies a clean, clear sound through all registers. Its Heritage construction combines a thin cup wall near the rim with greater metal mass at the base of the cup, while the rim and cup are gold-plated. The result is a clearly defined 2L option within the Heritage Series range.
