Swab Weight won't Fit

[walldaja]

I tried to swab the bore of my King 607F and the weight wouldn't fit down the mouthpiece receiver. I assumed it must have been just for a large bore.

Today I dropped that same weight into my Bach Soloist (0.500 bore) and it dropped right in. Tried the King again (0.525 bore) and it doesn't fit.

Looking into the tube shows no restriction.

Is it customary for Kings to have tight receivers? Use same mouthpiece on both horns and the have the same insertion point.

New to King.

Thanks

The 607 leadpipe is very, very small. Smaller than they should be since the 607/608 is supposed to be a student horn. I'm not surprised it didn't fit.

Do you have original in yours or did you change it?

I had one that I didn't change, it played great. I changed the one in my 608F. Keep in mind its not as easy as most horns and mine had to be modified a bit heavier than I would like to suit.
