"---------Yamaha 3/4 student tuba m'pipes are thin and tear up easily------------"
Making me a bit curious:
Is this situation a left-over from the original Yamaha 2xx series, where at least the cornets fastly were attacked so severely by ret rot, that they leaked?
Or are these leadpipes thin with the purpose to improve the response of the instrument?
