OK, so it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue...
Brad sent me 4 Bach 50 leadpipes: NY seamed copper and sterling silver, and MV seamed copper and sterling silver, and for me, the MV sterling silver is like having a whole different horn, for a lot less money: Bright, responsive, really speaks, even a bit punchy if you push it!
Great for a very present sound without having to play FF to achieve it!
The MV seamed copper plays a lot like the original, stock Corp yellow brass leadpipe (they are the same length, and longer than the NY LPs), will have to play around a bit to see if the copper one distinguishes itself from the yellow brass one enough to justify buying it.

Please keep us updated on this story. I would like to know if you send any of the leadpipes back to Brad. I currently use his seamed NY50 in yellow brass on my Bach 50 set ups. I think it is a spectacular leadpipe. I would definitely be interested in having either or both of the NY50 in copper and sterling silver pipes.

So he sent you four to try and you buy the ones you like and can send the others back?

I sent the NY50 pipes back, they were simply too open for me, being shorter than the MV pipes
