In addition to the Blackburn lead pipes - don't forget Pilczuk pipes.  
They're available from Rich Ita's brass shop in GA.  I worked with Rich 
and with Cliff and his team to find just the right Bb pipe (Blackburn) 
and A pipe (Pilczuk) for my 35 year-old horn.

Both shops were very helpful, professional and accommodating, shipping 
me multiple lead pipes, and only charging me for the ones I kept after a 
reasonable "trial" period.  I spent less than $400 to fix problems with 
the horn that had bugged me since I bought it in 1978!
