Making a replacement bit for your horn would not be a problem. It would be less expensive than replacing the entire pipe and would probably affect the playing qualities of the instrument less.

I hope this finds you safe and warm and enjoying the holidays. I have a situation and I need advice. Recently, I had my Conn Schmidt Model horn shipped to a shop and it showed up with a part missing. The horn has a leadpipe that the first 6" or so of the mouthpiece receiver was removeable. I usually had it stuck in a little nylon padded pouch in the case. Somehow, the horn arrived at the shop in fine shape but the mouthpipe was missing. The shop has been searched with no luck. I went to the shipping place today and they said it is not there. Is there some way to get a replacement made If the original can't be recovered ? If I have to get a one-piece leadpipe, where can I get one for a Conn Schmidt Model? Thanx in advance for any and all advice. Merry Christmas to all of you!
