Hello.
Do any of you repair people have a Besson tuba branch brace ( or one that will work) or know where to find one? Please see the attached picture. It is about 5/8 of an inch (15mm) wide.

Can you post a larger image... and... a picture of another brace that you would like the 5/8" one to look like?

It will look like this only longer about 5/8 " in between.

This is not off of a Besson and doesn't have round flanges. But... it looks similar and is 5/8" tall.

Send me an email with your address if you want it.

I don't think it would be too hard to cobble one of these together from a post from another brace and some sheet brass. Would just need a tracing of the shape. . .there is another brace that looks like this on the horn, right?
