I don't mind putting a leadpipe from another instrument on. I figure a short and flat pipe from say, a Besson 981 Eb might work after a bit of manipulation...
Wouldn't it be pretty common for folks to dispense with the pretty long type of leadpipes with a tuning slide found on old Bb horns when they convert to C? Does this sort of thing explain the 'interesting' intonation on some cut instruments?
