I have a used leadpipe with receiver taken off a Reynolds Contempora BBb recording tuba. It is in fair shape with one patch.
$25 + $10 shipping.

These aren't much different from the Olds o99 and Reynolds tb10 mouthpipes, but are necessarily LONGER - due to the instrument being larger. Otherwise, you'd have to make one of these. I made one for one of the big 5/4 Reynolds that I (realizing I had enough parts here and there to turn a carcass into an instrument) sold to a middle school.

A salvaged Reynolds leadpipe in better shape.

Noone else thinks these need a bigger leadpipe? It starts out of the receiver under 0.5" od.

The size seems fine to me, especially considering you're blowing into a "moderate" 0.687" bore valve block. Doesn't make me feel like there is something lacking when I'm playing: nice full sound and not easy to overblow.
I currently own 2 of these.
I don't think so !!!
