Just checked leadpipes at Tubastore.
MW25- 2 piece
VMI or Schmidt
2103- 2 piece
101- 2 piece
3301- 1 piece the 3301 and 3302 are very long leadpipes
3302- 1 piece
Cerveny's- 1 piece
Yamahas- 2 piece
All CC's I saw- 1 piece but most of those were very short anyway almost half the lingth of a BBb and the piston were alot shorter than the Rotor CC's.

VMI and Meinl Weston- gold brass leadpipes
Miraphone- Nickel-sliver except for gold brass tubas and those had gold or rose brass leadpipes
Cerveny- Nickel-silver, a couple gold brass
Jupiter- yellow brass or nickel-silver

Just for info, what is weird, the MW25 is considered their pro BBb and it has a 2 piece leadpipe and has the self-leveling linkages like on all the pro Meinl tubas. The VMI's and Meinls have very small ferrules joining they two sections.
