Thank-you (collectively) for your perfect record in coming to my assistance in the past.
Again, I will reimburse anyone who can supply me with these pieces of tubing:
THESE PIECES OF TUBING CAN BE FOUND ON AN OLD CONN MODEL 14-I BARITONE...
MAIN TUNING SLIDE TUBING (small side)
- .625" I.D. X .666" O.D. (I need at least enough of this to cut TWO 1.15" long pieces in good condition)
- .666" I.D. X .702" O.D. (I need at least enough of this to cut ONE 2.55" long piece in good condition)
_______________________
If you're curious: This isn't to repair a Conn baritone at all. Actually, the smaller diameter piece is to build a #3 compensating slide for a Hirsbrunner euphonium and the larger diameter piece is for the small-side inside-slide of the main tuning slide for the same Hirsbrunner euphonium...
...I already got the "correct" German-made tubing from Switzerland. The German-made smaller one is .005" too loose and the German-made larger one is .005" too tight. Ironically, these old pieces of Conn baritone inside-outside small-side main tuning slide tubing should both be perfect fits for these applications.
Thanks AGAIN !!!!
