Heckel S-Bocals (from the maker):

Ongoing development of S-bocals has led to a wide diversity of products with various alloys,diameters, diapasons, lengths and galvanisations. The following designs serve as loose guidelines in determining the right S-bocal. These attributes are based on decades of experience from musicians. The compatibility of S-bocals cannot be fully established as yet. They are influenced by the musician’s individuality, the instrument played and the mouthpiece used.

Base MetalsOriginal Heckel S-bocals are available in various base metals. This is depicted with one letter above the cork.

Original Heckel S-bocals are available in two different material thicknesses. The standardvariant has a wall thickness of 0.6 mm. S-bocals with a thinner wall thickness of 0.5 mm arelabelled with an additional “D”. S-bocals with a thinner layer of metal have an overtone richsound spectrum, along with good responsiveness and more flexibility in terms of intonation;they are however less stable and not suitable for all instruments in equal measure. Thelabelling of Heckel S-bocals has grown unsystematically out of the historical tradition. UsuallyHeckel S-bocals with thick walls are manufactured in soft German Silver (N) and hard Germansilver (Z). A thick walled bocal in soft metal is labelled CC; a thick walled bocal in hard metal islabelled C. With thin walled bocals the hardness labelling of the material only appears in theletters above the cork however
