I'm speculating that the backplate is probably not as precise as it should be. That's not that surprising when you think of the QC that existed in Western Europe.

My josef lidl bass trumpet as a similar issue.

Larger bumpers will fix it.

If I were a proctologist, I'd swap out that video during an endoscopy, sit back and watch the comedy ensue!!!

Pardon me, did I say enSUE??

I bought one just like this a while back and was dissappointed that the head is too long to go around much of a bend. For the money... I may try to take the head apart and enclose it in something flexible or shorter.
