| A high-quality leadpipe can do wonders for a horn, but for that horn? I'm not too sure on that one. Have you tried one of his leadpipes on your horn? Does it seem to make a real difference?
About new horns, be sure and check out Kanstuls at ibowtie.com or pickmusic.net. I own a 1503 from pickmusic, and can tell you their service is impeccable.
Also, check out Felix's inventory of European horns at newyorktrumpetcompany.com. The Evola plays like a Strad 43, but softer (I thought the lightweight Strad was a bit TOO crisp), and costs the equivalent of the ZeuS Guarnerius.
