Can I get an Edwards bass trombone leadpipe in brass in the UK without having to ship from the US? The only Edwards pipes I can see on UK dealers’ sites are silver at three times the price.

I’ve just switched to a Butler C12 for ergonomic reasons. I like it, but I find it has a little less resistance than I’m used to. I’m using the supplied Edwards #2. A tighter pipe seems worth trying, so I’d like to try a #1.

If nobody in UK supplies Edwards in brass, I can try the Rath range at their factory.

I looked on the Prozone (UK dealer according to Edwards Homepage) website and could only find the silver pipes. Might be worth a quick email or phone call to Prozone. They were always happy to help me with some other things in the past.

Thanks MrHCinDE: Prozone sorted me out.

That's useful info thanks. I'll give Prozone a try. Does anyone know if Rath leadpipes will fit an Edwards 396AR?

Happy blowing all.
