That little cimbasso is cool! Where does the leadpipe enter the valve block? I couldn't quite follow it around. Very neat design!

Looks like underneath the first valve loop connection.

It might be the longest "leadpipe" in history; the tapered part goes down and under and behind; then there're sever loops before it loops forward and into the "main" tuning slide behind the first valve tuning slide.

It's smaller than the current tornisters ;)
