Ditto what Jay said. I, too, took a horn a well know tuba repairer at a well known shop and had a terrible experience. The repairer was to fabricate a leadpipe becuase he didn't think he could get an original. The results basically ruined the horn.
As it turns out, Allied Supply had one sitting on a shelf in stock! I had someone else undo the damage as best they could, but the horn was never the same. I ended up selling it.
