At one time they all had red brass leadpipes until Vince at the Tuba Exchange told all his band directors that Nickel silver leadpipes lasted longer and had less problems so all Miraphones came out w Nickel silver leadpipes.

So now to be different again and to get Brook Mays to a propietary stage, they are putting them back on.

All one has to do is ask for a red brass leadpipe and you cn order it that way.

I am pretty sure all of the Miraphones in Europe come standard with red brass leadpipes.
All red brass tubas come with red brass leadpipes and I like the red brass leadipe better anyway.
Always have.

Go figure.
