I'll post this in the for sale section, too.
I'm looking for a B&S thumb ring for a tuba. Preferably bell mountable (like for rotor horns), but can be modified to fit if it's for a piston horn mounted on tubing.
Anyone know where to order parts from?
Thanks!
B&S parts? Anybody sell them?

Does it have to be B & S specifically? ... or will a thumbring for something like a Mirafone do? New? Used? Silver?

Just so everybody knows what's going on...
I like the way that the B & S thumb rings feel...but I have a Mirafone tuba, and want to change the thumb ring to something more comfortable. If you know of a thumb ring that feels as good, if not better, go ahead and suggest it...
I'm getting some custom work done on the horn in 2-3 weeks, depending on the other horns in the shop. Basically, the labor is free, I just have to come up with the parts. No parts=no work.
So, yes a Mirafone thumb ring would work, but it doesn't feel as comfortable...
It sounds ridiculous...yes, but I like B & S's thumb rings better...
