Hello ! I`m looking for a marching leadpipe and a 3rd valve slide and maybe a new concert leadpipe for a Holton BB663MR . My leadpipe is bent and my 3rd valve slide has a crushed crook on the bottom of the slide . The tuba is just like a Yamaha YBB 105 .

None of those parts will be a problem for a repairman to get from either Allied or directly from Yamaha. You might have to buy the whole slide assemblies to get the crooks, though.

I`ve emailed lots of tuba repair places but none will email me back . thats why i posted a want ad on here .my little tuba playes just fine but i`d like it to look better .

I wanted my parts fixed in the first place . thats why i`m trying to find new parts (or parts not as bad off as mine) . but none of the so called repair shops will repair it .

Really?... wow. The repairs you mention are pretty basic for an average brass repair shop. Got to be someone close enough that can assist you, where are you located?

I live in Tn . I think the closest repair shop is a 3 hour drive for me . I think .

Well, over near Memphis there's one guy...up north a bit in Evansville there's a guy...Atlanta...Charlotte...3 hours maybe, but if no one near you wants to work with you, you'll have to make a trip. It would be well worth it, likely, for a number of reasons.

If I was in Tennessee I would be excited to know that Bloke is in the same state and could tackle this for you if you contacted him and worked out a time and date. Just a suggestion.
