I assume you're referring to the Fujan. I find myself having to change tips and heads all the time -- almost every day. Either there's a high plate strut or a pronounced overhang on the top rim of an upright's plate, or the pins are impossibly close together in the low tenor (Wurtilizer spinets) and I have to change to the thin-wall tip, or the thing's been re-pinned with #5's, etc. David, Those, of course, are common issues. Fujan offers accessories, both suggested and additional: http://www.fujanproducts.com/buildtube.php?PHPSESSID=a56037088b2bde7d82ff5f169c925e58 and he can modify the length of tip extensions to your specifications. I was able to use some of the tips I had, but everything else that I had previously used has since been discarded. The cost of doing business is continually a variable. Some folks try new things, and some people don't for whatever reasons. I wasn't happy anymore. Now I am satisfied. Keith McGavern
