Anyone have any experience with the M&K Drawing GR tenor leadpipe?

Thanks

Yes. They okay very well, particularly with a Conn style of instrument. They are very well made.

I currently play the MK GR tenor leadpipe in my modern 88ht.
It works really well for me. Feels more open than the original Conn leadpipes, especially in the high range. So it may feel easier/more even to play. Material makes a huge difference for me!
Of course it does change the instrument noticeably and does feel and sound different to my old Elkhart 88h.

Agree with the answers above. For a Conn style slide the GRs are great. I like both the yellow brass and the bronze one, although the bronze took some time getting used to. Having gotten used to the different feedback, it’s my favorite.
Fantastic pipes, good price and fast service from MK Drawing
