Does Edwards still make .525 Leadpipes.
I have one in My Mount Vernon 36 and love it.
I just bought a closet 1976 Silver 36B and thought about putting and Edwards in that horn, but I don`t see it listed on their site.
What would be an alternative to an Edwards #2 .525?

As far as I know, they still make them. I ordered a sterling #1 .525 pipe from them in February of last year (for sale here), and they seem to still have .525 pipes (at least in brass) listed on their site:

If you're not able to source another, I would be able to make a duplicate of your original pipe. Let me know.

Thanks for the help.

How do you guys reproduce lead pipes? I have a couple Minick bass pipes and a Holton 169 pipe I don’t use much due to them being irreplaceable. I’d really like to reproduce the 169 pipe!

Can you make a one-piece duplicate of a two piece? I have a magical Conn 52H pipe, and I would be really curious how well it played in one piece.

Matt K: i assume you mean one-piece is a swedged/flared leadpipe, and two-piece is a machined mouthpiece receiver type similar to the new Yamaha small bore leadpipes? If so, we could certainly do that. We would need the original pipe for measurements to create a mandrel.

Mr. Deacon: We would need the original pipe for measurements. We would then turn a mandrel matching the inner diameter of the original pipe, draw a tube on said mandrel, and swedge open until the mouthpiece insertion depth and venturi measurements matched the original.

That’s exactly right! I’ll send you a message
