My experience is very different from you on the 835 though. Which mouthpiece did you use? From the 830 and 822G onwards they seems to like larger, deeper mouthpiece. My 830 sound is also shrill when used with 59L (1.5G-ish) piece.

I brought almost my whole stable. Started with my Wedge 110G Brass (27.94 (110)) on all, since that size is my daily driver size. Sounds fine on the 822G when taped, but of course I removed the tape for the tests and it (as well as the others) went into the mouthpiece receiver the standard 1" +/-. The deepest I brought with me was my Markey 87 (28.57 (112)) which is almost as deep/wide as your Yeo. It was knarly with Rheingold. If I ever had to play that piece, it would be on the Markey 87 or even 90. But I admit, I didn't try it on the 835, only on the two Shires. I had a Yamaha 59L with me, but didn't try it on any. I also have a Greg Black 1.5 and 1 7/16 at home. Curious to see how they are. They worked fine for me on the 822G. They are, IMHO Bach 1.5G on steroids.
Funny, that my 822G came with the Yeo replica (silver). I read at the time, the 59L came with the 830 back then - around 2016.

Also: there's another thread here about Shires leadpipes, the #2 (no letters) is optimum for most players. I would recommend putting it in and not replacing it unless you find you can't get used to it.
