When I had Dan Oberloh restore my New Standard back to year one, it included a new custom made floating large shank leadpipe a la the Prestige. In any case, the old one was shot from rot and bent. (The horn was a Salvation Army discard total wreck). It plays very well in my and several others' opinions.

It was sort of like saving the someones' life via an organ transplant.

That may have been the wrong analogy, considering what this forum deals with LOL.
