I figure it still had to be out some to be in tune with the group, just as other trumpers/cornets. There is not another main adjustment for pitch. I would like know, as I want to have two new lead pipes made for the current a=440 (one for the original Conn mouthpiece shank taper (mouthpieces in excellent condition), and the other leadpipe for the current cornet standard taper. Anybody have a suggestion where I can get them made??
Thanks, Stan | Regardless of who makes them, the horn will be another after they are attached. The leadpipe is the most critical part of the horn. Why not have one leadpipe and interchangeable receivers? The only advertised custom cornet leadpipes that I am aware of are from Spada in Switzerland.
