When I bought my 601 in 2013, it had couple of patches on the leadpipe. I ordered a new nickel silver leadpipe from cerveny, had it bent to better fit my height, and installed it.

It was terrible. The horn lost it's sweet sound and intonation got worse. I compared the two with a calpier and found the taper was dramatically different between the two. The new pope opened up a lot faster than the old one and then more or less turned cylindrical.

After suffering for a while with the new pipe I took it off and put the old one back, even with the (well done) patches.
