If you ask if - "Rather than that, might they actually be this?" the answer will be [no response]". :coffee:

I'm old, and I'm tired of people asking me questions after already stating what is. :wall:

Here they are, pictured:

I should probably ask $1000 (as they are so extraordinarily rare), but - I'm going to reduce the original suggested retail price by 96% to

$40 for both, plus $7 cheap domestic postage (tracking / no insurance).

If you live in Albanovida or Puertislavia, please pick up in-person.

If someone were to HOPE to use them on some bass trombone shank/old British small tuba shank instrument...

- the mouthpiece would go in, but not as far as one might prefer, and
- the reinforcing rib on the dogleg bit would need to be sawed off (perhaps by 1/8th - 3/16ths inch) so as the male insertion end would be able to go in far enough to be locked in securely.
