Asking if people like "a hiniker bocal" is like asking if people like "a piece of fruit".

Tom has approximately 40-50 bocal models/sizes and they all have different properties. a size 12, length 2, can have entirely diffferent effects from a size 12 length 3, which can have entirely different effects from a size 12- length 3.

He has
normal lengths (length 1, 2, 3)
Slightly shorter lengths (-1, -2, -3)
Regular bores (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, etc)
"brilliant sounding bores" (can't remember the indicator for this one)

etc. etc. etc.

The good news is that there are so many models/lengths/sizes, you're bound to find one that works perfectly for your EH that supports high Ab, high C, and lowers middle E.

The bad news is by the time you finish trying them all, you can't remember which one was the best for your horn!

Weber reeds or RDG will send out 7 or 8 at a time as a "Sampler kit" That's probably your best bet.
