WTB Yamaha YBB 321/201 Leadpipe
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2019 7:58 am
Hey all,
I just picked up a sweet YBB 321 off of craigslist thanks to my man edsel585960!
This one has certainly been through the ringer (mangled but not ripped bell, dented bow, cracked leadpipe, ect...) But this is my first 4v BBb horn and I'm super excited to get it back up to snuff!
Starting with the leadpipe!
The current one has a crack about an inch past the receiver that the previous owner appears to have sealed with hot glue, which came off surprisingly easily. (Im just glad it wasnt jb weld!)
I know this is a long shot, but would any of you tuba gurus have a non-ripped/torn leadpipe laying around that could get this awesome horn back in action? I can handle reasonable dents and am happy to pay a reasonable price!
I know there were a few versions of the leadpipe that yamaha used for these horns, but Im fairly confident that mine is one of the earliest designs, which would make it the same pipe that was used on the 201s if im not mistaken.
(my 321 has the metal valve guides if that helps determine which production series it was)
Any help with finding a new leadpipe would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!,
Rob
