Re: Compact Cimbasso and King Euph
That little cimbasso is cool! Where does the leadpipe enter the valve block? I couldn't quite follow it around. Very neat design!

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

Re: Compact Cimbasso and King Euph
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.Tubajug wrote:That little cimbasso is cool!

It's smaller than the current tornisters
