New leadpipe for GDR Gerhard Schneider "Model 101?"

[Tubaing]

I am working on this tuba, hoping to get it in a little better shape... is it possible to buy a new leadpipe for it? Any leads? If so, how much and who do I contact?

Jinbao makes a knock-off of that tuba.
There are some Jinbao dealers who visit this forum.

Thank you. We'll see if that leads anywhere.

It could LEAD to a PIPE...

Were that tuba mine, I'd just repair the original...but it ain't mine.

I'm taking it to my shop this week to get it repaired, but its pretty kinked/flattened/dented... just curious if it would be be cost effective for me to just throw on a new one.

Bloke, would you repair the original because of cost reasons, quality reasons, or both?
