Selmer Radial Trumpet
Selmer Paris has produced some of the finest trumpets. Radial model trumpet was done in co-operation with Maurice Andre and it is a great specimen of the French factory. In this video I'll tell some background about Selmer and Radial model and there is also a playing test.

    How does this horn compare with contemporary professional trumpets?

    • @timyllym
      @timyllym Місяць тому

      With most of the vintage trumpets (including this) I find that notes don't slot the same way as in contemporary horns. Current trumpets tend to make a rather precise switch between intervals but with vintage horns you can bend the notes easily and you need to seek the center of the tone. Vintage horns also quite often feel a little tight to play compared to contemporary trumpets.

    Hi Timo, I would like to know are there any substantial timbral differences between the Amati Toneking saxes and the Keilwerth New King saxes...the sound of the Amati really surprised me. I have several Selmer Mark VII saxes and a Selmer Series III but the sound of my Amati is really special with a unique letterhead. I thought about replacing the left mechanism by taking it from a Keilwerth donor. Do you think it's possible? Thanks

    Hi Timo, your video is very interesting, I have a question for you, I have just purchased a silver Amati tone king tenor sax which has a key which I thought was the high f# but I haven't yet understood what it is for... another thing the amati have a truly incredible sound the only flaw is the mechanics of the left hand the keys are not very ergonomic and small for my fingers I would like to know if you could modify it with a more modern mechanics thanks

    • @timyllym
      @timyllym 2 місяці тому

      It is not uncommon that some of these have high F# and some not, there have been variation in designs. About the other question, if you mean modifying left hand pinky table (low note keys) to be more ergonomic, that may be difficult.

    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 4 місяці 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.

    • @timyllym
      @timyllym 5 місяців 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
