Treading lightly

Post by Jayhawker »

Please stay on topic, please stay on topic....

I have been using Mead Springs on my Prestige for well over 2 years now and I love them. I wanted to get a set for my BMB F tuba but I can't seem to find any. Just For Brass is out and so is Amazon. Does anyone know where I can get some without having to pay international shipping? I'm also open to trying an alternative to Mead Springs as well if you have one.

Thanks!

They are available through an amazon seller with free shipping. Price was $36.95 and three are listed as in Stock at the time of this posting:

Thanks, but there are several types... I need the "Euphonium/Bass Tuba" kind, which these aren't....

Thanks for trying though!

Just for Brass has what you're looking for I think.

Thank you again, however, I'm hoping to avoid International Shipping if I can... euphoniumstore.net is based in Europe.

Looks like I'll not be getting them any time soon. Thanks anyways!
