Hello TubeNet!
I am looking for the two original leadpipes that come with the piston Neptune. Does anyone know where I can find them?
Thanks!

Re: Looking for Parts
I believe that only the rotary model had interchangeable lead pipes. The piston horn's leadpipe is soldered on whereas the rotary horn had the lead pipe clamped on and two retaining screws to attach it to the bell and the receiver.
I remember this because someone came into the tuba show room at WWBW and picked the piston Neptune up BY THE LEADPIPE and basically ripped it off the horn. The horn was put back and the culprit apparently immediately left the building.
The horn required major repairs and was eventually sold as C stock.
