I'm just curious, from all of the vast experience on this list, what improved playing characteristics could I expect from installing a custom leadpipe on my early Texas 8D? It plays well now, so what would change? With Lawson FB210.125 you could expect: more centeredness, better projection, better in tune Bb horn especially in upper register, quicker response, easier slurs, easier staccato. This is all assuming the valves are tight and the horn is in overall good condition. If the valves are leaking, a leadpipe makes for little or no improvement so they should be rebuilt before trying pipes.
