Designed working with Yasuhito Sugiyama, the Principal Tuba of the Cleveland Orchestra, this new tuba mouthpiece will be added to the Concert Tuba Series alongside the SHII (aka Schilke - Helleberg II), SHII-F and Geib models. Mr. Sugiyama and Schilke Mouthpiece Production Manager Chris Jones worked in collaboration in order to develop this ideal mouthpiece design for the demands of a world class orchestral tubist. The SHII-CLE offers the largest size tuba mouthpiece in our catalog and is ideal for BBb and CC contrabass tuba.

Model	mm	inches	throat	Description
SHII	32.76	1.290	O (.316″)	The “Schilke – Helleberg II” is made along the same lines as the 66,67, and standard Helleberg. It has the same Helleberg-style cup shape with the same inside diameter as the 69C4, a slightly tighter throat and standard backbore.
SHII-F	32.76	1.290	O (.316″)	The “Schilke – Helleberg II-F” has the same rim as the Helleberg SH-II but with a shallower bowl-shaped cup to accommodate the smaller F tuba. The throat is smaller than the SH. The backbore is slightly larger, similar to a Schmitt shape that opens up quicker under the throat to reduce resistance.
SHII-CLE	33.27	1.310	P ( .323″)	**NEW** Developed working with Yasuhito Sugiyama, Principal Tuba of the Cleveland Orchestra, the SHII-CLE features a design which is a modification of the classic SHII. A larger inner diameter, slightly deeper cup, larger throat, and subtly lighter weight combine to offer a vibrant & colorful tone with quick response.
GEIB	32.76	1.290	5/16 (.3125″)	The Geib model has the same inside diameter as the Helleberg SH-II with a modified rim contour. The Geib cup is more bowl-shaped and slightly shallower than the SH-II. The entrance to the throat is tighter yet it shares the same throat size as the SH-II with a standard backbore.
