I want to repair my 2165.

Post by tjrwls907 »

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!

You need to make the folder public.

The other lead pipe that people use on the 2165 is the MW 45SLP lead pipe

I changed the permission. Is it possible to do it now?

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.

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.
