    Are the pipe and tuning slide from 9445chs I? With the references A7V30520 and A7V30100? Do you think it would work as fine with the parts from 9445chs II (2013)? Thanks ind avance!!

    Can the new Yamaha 9445CHS leadpipe and tuning slide match the Bach 229 Chicago model? If possible, how much is it?

Vernon and on Left Bach 229L.  But, the Mt. Vernon has been Converted into a Malone.Chicago Gen.2  Leadpipe and Main tuning slide.

Mounting has its own techniques that work best for me.  Ultimately, making very precise internal-external cuts create very balanced relaxed tone.   Body
