From the pictures, it doesn't look too horrible. I'd be happy to take a look at it. I know I still have one or two of those leadpipes laying around in my old shop in Missouri, if we need one. Daryl

Looks like a YBB-103. These things seem to get the very long leadpipe creamed routinely. AFAIK, Yamaha still stocks replacements if this one can't be saved.

So today we open up the case & I find the leadpipe broken from the first connection and the solder joint broke where it attaches to the bell. Not only that but the pipe has obviously been bent back & then forward again.
So we tried playing and amazingly it was still playable.
Even so, I'd like to get this replaced / repaired.
(Daryl, are you out there in Renton WA still?)

so did you bend the kid back and forth a couple times so he could see what it felt like?

The tuba is resting comfortably after a two hour surgery. She is do for a chem clean and a little cosmetic work tomorrow. She should be back on her bottom bow in no time! Daryl
