I posted this over at the TH, I figured I'd post it both places to maximize response:

So i'll be graduating from high school this spring and going off to college (no clue where yet, so don't ask). And I've recently fallen back in love with my getzen. So as oposed to getting a brand spankin new horn, I'm thinking I want to get my horn "tweaked." Now, since I'm from "middle of nowhere" North Dakota, I'm unsure about where to go, or even what to have done. I got a pilczuk pipe for my olds but haven't had it installed yet. I was originally going to do that horn, but I like my getzen more before the fact, so I'm putting the olds "restoration" on hold. questions are: What kind of tweaking should I do? (so far all i have is a valve alignment and probably a new leadpipe) should i go for an all out conversion? (i dunno who does them...) When I get the leadpipe who should I get it from? (all i know of are blackburn, Pilczuk, and najoom, reviews please!) And finally when I finally figure out what I want done, who should I send my horn to, and what is their aprox. turnaround time? (i'd need it back in a month, music camps in july) Thanks in advance for all of the responses!

edit: would i just be ahead finding a strad and having all of this done, most sites i've checked seem to favor those
