Does anyone know where I can buy a new Miraphone 1292 leadpipe? I know WWBW used to sell them back when Roger Lewis was there, but I'm not sure about that anymore.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You may want to try Dan Oberloh. I know he rebuilds miraphones, so I'm sure he has an account with them and could order it. his website is www.oberloh.com

I second the Ed Strege nomination (I believe it's prounouced "stray-gee", with a soft g). I have bought miraphone parts from Badger State Repair before. I e-mailed miraphone directly and they referred me to Mr. Strege. He's a good businessman.

I have it on my computer at work. If I get an opportunity, I'll post pm the email to you tomorrow unless somebody else supplies it in the mean time.

I've bought some parts from him in the past. Good experience here as well.

You can email Ed if you like, but he'll respond promptly asking you to call. When you call, whoever answers will connect you directly to Ed. He's the only one there who will quote Mirafone parts.WilliamVance wrote:MrStregs@aol.combort wrote:Thanks...does Ed have an e-mail address?
