    You inspired me to brush plate wear on the valve block of my silver trumpet, as well to tank plate the valves on my antique conn. They were copper plated and i plated the first valve and then spent quite a bit of time lapping. Used a combination of lapping block and 2000 gr sand paper. Had some trouble as the valve guide is attached to the top of the valve. Almost done

    • @timyllym
      @timyllym 22 дні тому

      Great to hear! Removing the valve guide will help lapping, it would need to be either soldered off or then filed down. When plating is finished a new valve guide is then created and soldered back on. It will take some extra time though.

    Thank you for this vid. It gave me the courage to try on my antique conn. The 1st valve was so leaky I let it go 4 1hr. And was too much. How much lapping did u have to do before it fit? And did you only use that lapping tool?

    • @timyllym
      @timyllym Місяць тому

      Thanks! I used the lapping block and lapping compound from Ferree's Tools. Just keep lapping, and every now and then try to fit it into valve casing. When it barely fits the valve casing you can lap it lightly in the valve casing.

    Yep that’s it. The way each one blows matters too, volume & airflow pressure makes a huge impact on it. Another point of view it’s, if it’s worse with zero gap, why not chose a larger Backbore ?

    Hi Timo, this Video is very interesting. It's a good ideal, to make the plating at home ! It's funny, that you plate a nickel valve . I'm playin my Getzen Severinsen Trumpet since 1979. But the nickel plated valves work very well..I think, these nickel valves are definitely the best kind of valves. Your plating method will be much more interesting for users of monel and Steel valves and Ithink, the method is the same..copper and the nickel, correct? Best wishes from germany, peter

      Hello, you can buy pads from several places e.g. musiccenter.it, ferreestools.com or musicmedic.com, but if you have no prior experience in repairing saxophone it is best to leave it to a professional repair technician. Changing pads looks easy but it is fairly difficult to get them seal well without any leaks.
