Miraphone leadpipe position

Post by Ian1 »

How do Miraphone 1291 players find the angle of the leadpipe?

I’m having a 1292 pipe fitted and might have it altered to be slightly more wrapped around the bell.

I had a 1291 for several years, and never had any issues with the leadpipe angle. I also had the leadpipe swapped out for a 1292 leadpipe... well worth the effort, but again, no issues with the angle.
