Yes. I just bought one at Gebr. Alexander
Bahnhofstr.9, Mainz, Germany.
Cost 15.00 Euro
I also had a toot on a demo 163 while i was there.
The walls of the little tuba room are lined with
pictures of bands, old and new.

Yes, i have one Lee Stofer made for me. It is paper-thin with a knurled edge i can grab to remove it. However, it would be difficult to remove after its left in for a while unless you are a skilled repair person. It has a tiny bit of wobble which would be fixed with a bit of solder but Lee said no. I guess it is better for cleaning if it
is removable.
The one i just got from Alexander is a bit thicker and i will see how it plays and fits when i get home in a couple of weeks.
