Oh yeah...These are used outdoors by children under 25 years old, and are (of course!) bright silver plated.
I'm sure you round up all of the replacement parts for even the $13,000 silver plated ones and get them right back here all fixed up...
You're the greatest, bloke !"
...so (now: living in a second-world country - quickly descending to third-world) I'm needing a replacement bright silver plated lower mouthpipe tube (this one: twisted and crushed) for a $10,000 sousaphone.
' anyone think they're in stock and ready to ship, right now?
...so this is what they get:
The cracks on either side of the last turn are silver-brazed back together, and the twists and folds are repaired "to bloke's satisfaction"
. Did the silver plating blister?
Of course, it did.
Did they also put some 1" - 2" deep karate chops in these 1 - 3 year old instruments?
Of course, they did.
Hey...
At least, I was tricky enough to leave the lower mouthpipe receiver and that arch/pretend-brace thing in place, so this is all that has to be soldered back on.
OK...On to the last three, and this kollij is DONE.
