Bi-thread ID, .684 Bach Adapter

These adapters add about 1/4" to the length of your horn.  Some players have said that it helped them. Others said that it was easily compensated for, and others have said that it may effect the way the horn plays. For those of you that are unhappy with the 1/4" of addition, you can use this adapter to try many different brands, styles, and materials in the leadpipe market. When you find the ones that you like best, you could then purchase the proper threaded ring that would match your horn. These are also made by Mike Olsen.  You could then have a tech mount that threaded ring to your newly chosen leadpipe.
