me personally ..i like the tone i get on my Conn Helleburg.....its a somewhat smaller cup...but i like it...as a matter of fact..thats the required mouthpiece for my section

I play on a schilke helleburg. But you have to sound good on your own. A mouthpiece will not make you a better player. You gotta just have to control to work it. I can hit pedals on my Schilke Helleburg just fine. It might not be the deepest cup, but you just gotta play with control. Push your air straight through the mouth peice and focus more on getting a fat lower range. C and lower are the fun notes.
Now, for concert band, if you got small lips, then you shouldn't play on a super big mouthpeice. Use something for you. I found that the round bottem mouthpeices have a fatter feel to them. As opposed to the cone shaped Conn Helleburgs. I hate them and they feel to constrained.
For straight blowin, I think bigger is better; more room for lower register. But i'd try to use only one mouthpeice.
I use the LOUD LM3 its the deepest mouthpiece made the cup is huge and the inside diameter of the rim is 33.5 but with a cup so huge you must have controle and air support the bigger the mouthpiece the harder it is to pump out high notes high f and up but the lows pop right out just dont close of your throat when going for those high notes the highs should sound like the lows and vice versa its not the mouthpiece its the player the mouthpiece is just a aid to what the player is producing but a bigger cup lets you push more air but you must have some gusto in order to be successful on those LOUD mouthpieces.
