WTB Large Shank Euph Receiver

Hi!

I'm on the lookout for a Large Shank Euph Reciever!

I just picked up a Besson New Standard Euph where someone modded the horn and took off the original Euro shank receiver. They instead soldered on a small shank adapter. It's funky. I'd like to return the horn to stock or put a Large shank receiver on instead.

Anyone have one lying around? Brand doesn't matter, though Besson or Yamaha would be the best fit. I'd even be interested in a Euro shank receiver from a Wilson or vintage Besson or Boosey and Hawkes horn!

Let me know what you guys have!

Thanks!

[quote="Schlitz"]The ones I’ve seen with that done to them tend to have shorter leadpipes too. I have a ‘75 NS. Save yourself some grief and talk to Dan Oberloh up here in Seattle. He can make any part you need, and he’s probably got what you need in a drawer.[/quote]
I noticed that the leadpipe was shorter! Mine is a 68' or 69'. When I first got the horn I thought someone cut the leadpipe then I noticed it was just soldered on and not cut.

Thanks for the advice! I'll contact Mr.Oberloh.

Dan is the expert on older Besson restorations. If it’s a medium shank era production horn, put that back on it. Good luck.
