I need to manufacture a new leadpipe for a 1919 Buescher Bb Helicon. It has 4 valves and is silver plated. The original leadpipe broke off and was lost many years ago. A standard Conn sousaphone gooseneck does not cut it and is too short anyway, even with 2 bits. Pictures of the horn are here: http://www.geocities.com/bryan_cass/helicon.htm
I wrote about this same horn on 3 Jul 2001 and received some response, but as of yet, no one has sent me a picture or drawing of what the original looked like!
Thanks!
