Got it through Buffet Crampon by way of an authorized dealer. @Sousaswag there's hope!

I think a Miraphone petruska pipe is similar; I can measure them in a couple weeks and report back. I have access to both pipes. They’re both “smaller.”

Back before Gerhard sold B&S to Buffet - and they were still selling parts, the only way I could get one of those was to buy them straight and not filled, because over there they fill them with lead, and Customs noticed the lead listed on the form and sent it back to Germany, so they had to send me one that was straight and unfilled.

In another thread, I discussed how to imitate them with something made in the USA (rather than having to start from scratch). The last time I did that was when someone brought me their silver model 2000 with a rotted (larger) OEM mouthpipe. The 2000 that was given to me to repair had trickier curves in it than a standard 2155 mouthpipe, but those bends were manageable, and easy enough to imitate.

Sorry to resurect a dead thread.

I heard back from the Buffet Crampon Brass Specialist rep - you can still order these through one of their authorized dealers found here: https://www.melton-meinl-weston.com/en/dealers/

Part number SP15130. It comes straight and you have to find someone else to bend and install it.

I just put it on order yesterday after asking about it a week ago - looking at 2-3 months for delivery. Very reasonable price.
