Wisemann Leadpipe - replace?
Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2019 12:31 pm
Hello,
Issue: I have a Wisemann that developed the dreaded rot in the leadpipe last year. Due to time constraints, I had to have a local music store tech do an "emergency" patch. It ain't too pretty but it does the job.
Question #1: I plan to sell this horn and wonder if I should sell as is or have the leadpipe replaced?
Question #2: If replacement is wisest, would it be best to have a new one installed (I hear it would have to be a B&$ part) or could/would one of you experts out there fabricate one. And then there is the silverplate.
Question #3: If it is ok to ask for recommendations (or volunteers) on the forum, who out there would take this on?
I have a new horn and the Wisemann is traveling from Boston to the West at this time with my Dad. He would like to drop it off to get the work done and possibly consign?
Effusive thanks ahead of time.
