Depends on the diameter but a Locost way would be to find a local hydraulic hose company (Pirtek?) and see if their smallest fitting crimplng/swaging
machine would do it, probably need 2 tries to help eliminate the die marks.
Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

I'd turn a small reducer out of a piece of brass bar and solder it on. If done carefully it will be virtually undetectable.

It needs to be perfectly round so would need to be pressed between dies or rolled. If he's wanting to use a trumpet mouthpiece in his cornet
then you can buy an adaptor.

Thinking about it he would be better off getting the pipe the small end size and stretching the other end
Thanks for your comments/ idea's
