A long time ago, there was a fellow by the name of Gene Pilczuk who developed a stepped leadpipe with the claim that it could improve intonation on any brass instrument. I was surprised to see that someone has purchased the rights and tooling to the late Mr. Pilczuk's operation and continues to produce his leadpipes for trumpets, with low brass to be offered Real Soon Now.

But I got to wondering--did Pilczuk ever turn out a low brass leadpipe? If so, can anyone report an experience with it?

Forgive me, please--it's my "idle curiosity" day
