• Denis Wick 5, Small (British) shank. sold
  IIRC the '5' was designed with Pat Sheridan when he endorsed the 983. This was killer on my Boosey & Hawkes 15" bell Imperial. Will polish it before sending.

• Denis Wick 3, Small (British) shank. sold
  This was also great on my B&H 15" bell Imperial, it is great for ensembles.

• Sellmansberger Imperial, British shank. sold
  Older two-piece version, no rim. Newer 3-piece style rims can be used as well.

• Bruno Tilz NEA M2, Euro shank. sold
  Works great on rotary F-tubas.

• Perantucci PT-64, Perantucci-shank. sold
  Shank is ever so slightly out of round - purely cosmetic.

• John Packer Helleberg, PT-exterior, euro shank. $40
  SHII copy but with a PT exterior.

• Doug Elliott Euph N103, Euph J, J8 (large shank)$155
  Great mouthpiece. Shank and cup are stuck together because I left it sitting too long. Rim is still free.

• Giddings & Webster Kadja, large shank $110
  Works great if you like a 5AL/52D*, and want to try SS. Don't need two of them. *Initially I thought it matched the 51D but the specs line up with the 52D.

• Giddings & Webster TZ-103, large shank $110
  Basically a 5G with a 4G rim.

Dunno when GW's price shot up over $200, but it sure makes your price tempting . . .
