I previously asked here about the comparison between Thunderbird in Zo and 2165 held by my professor.
I bought 2165 thinking about the future afterwards and it made a lot of changes for me.
But it's probably getting older and some parts of the body are in poor condition.
The fastest way to get treatment is a ring next to key 5 and a mouthpiece pipe.
If anyone knows the right parts to repair these two parts, I strongly recommend them.
My 2165 didn't replace the parts separately.
The professor, who was the previous owner, shows a large sign of adjusting the pipes to suit him.
I've seen someone say here that they're swapping 2165's pipes for some model.
But I haven't found it at present.
Anyone is welcome! Please recommend Tuba's pipe, which is the most suitable of the current Melton-produced instruments!
The link below is a picture of the current 2165.

You need to make the folder public.
The other lead pipe that people use on the 2165 is the MW 45SLP lead pipe

Link works.
I'd want to replace that leadpipe with a new one. I don't like patched leadpipes. As for the thumb ring, you can have a tech move or remove it.

Re: I want to repair my 2165.
Can I know the appropriate parts to repair them?
I recently contacted the Buffet Group and received a reply that they are no longer producing.
