[TPIN] 25H Leadpipe Equivalent for B-flat?

[Glenn Bengry]

I agree.  Very often too, its simply a matter of a mouthpiece not matching the horn at all.  how many players have passed on a fine instrument because they didn't bother to try another mpc in a horn after the first one wasn't a match.  We're such an impatient bunch aren't we?  Opinionated sunsaguns too.
