Arnold,

Finding a mouthpiece that matches the very large bore of the CT barrel is
very difficult these days. I played CT"S for years and can sypathise with
you. However, a good mouthpiece guy could enlarge whatever you decide
upon.

I presume you're using a 50's vintage HS*. If you are, and you like the
intonation, why not have that mouthpiece guy put an HS** facing on it?
