Tweaks? Do tell, Ive added nylon valve guides to my 52 but after that it's pretty much stock. A friend also found a good amount of silicone sealant oozed into(and partially blocking) the leadpipe where it meets the valve section and removed it;why does UMI use that stuff?
I did buy a Besson from Dillon and they cleaned up the inside of all the slides(tapered?) and slicked up the valves I think as well. Anything along those lines applicable to the Conns?
I've noticed in photos of the Spanish Brass quintet that the tubist has a Conn but the wrap looks slightly different than current production models. Anyone out there know the deal with that tuba?
