Dear Walt, I would really appreciate your recommendation regarding 103 lead pipes. I have a super 103 that I purchased from Mr. Stagliano in the early 70s. It has an amazing high register (no surprise there) but the original pipe was damaged and I have never been able to find an adequate replacement.
thanks so your thoughts, Chris Wilhjelm >>> <lewho...@yahoo.com> 3/5/2009 12:07 PM >>> It very well could be the pipe. I won't ask who made your replacement pipe for you, but I would think a custom would work well since a Kruspe is so similar to an 8D. A couple of years ago I was looking for a replacement pipe for my Alex 103, I consulted with Paul Navarro at an IHS Symposium, as soon as Paul learned the pipe was for an Alex, he told me to get another Alex pipe. It was good advice, my Alex plays great with the replacement Alex pipe. Good luck with your pipe.

I attached it last night and found that there was one note, high A Flat, that I just couldn't get to respond. I am doing this via mail order, so I can't take the horn into the gentleman doing the work. Is it possible that the physics of the match of the new leadpipe and the horn prevent that note from sounding? Is it memorex or is it me? _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/lewhorn9%40yahoo.com ( http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/lewhorn9%40yahoo.com ) Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
