I watched 'em braze those in at the Bach factory many years ago with VERY hot and wide tips. The color of the material shows you that the brass cross-tubes are brazed in place. When I've done piston repairs for people and discovered that the factory lead soldered the cross-tubes in place, I stopped working, called the owners of these instruments, and ask them to come pick it up - unrepaired. I don't want my name on any repairs on pistons which are that unstable.
