[TPIN] 25S Leadpipe Bach on Bach C

[Jon]

Dick Akright uses a standard 25 Bb leadpipe with a C receiver to create his 
25S version. I've used them for years without any problems. Never tried any 
of the other Bb leadpipes (except the 43 - bad idea). The S pipe must be a 
lot different from the 25...
