Where is brass pipe/tubing typically used? I've only seen it
used in things like *beds* (frames).

Said another way, where might I find surplus/scrap brass tubing
in assorted diameters/lengths (say 1-8' long, 1-4" dia)?

["New" it's outrageously priced]

Brass is very expansive and it is use where steel is corrosive and copper is
too soft.

That's probably true of modern beds. Ours was brass with 4" dia
posts (but steel rails). IIRC, it came out of a "house of ill repute"
from the late 19th century in one of those mining towns in Colo.

Buy a bunch of trombones.

The slides are thinwall brass tubing.

They come in various ID - .500, .525, .547, .562 are the most common.

That's the inner slide. The outer slide is obviously a bit bigger.

Some "solid brass" beds use steel pipe inside thin wall brass tubing.

I think he's working with that guy who had the mysterious gas
