Having had to fidget with clockspring mechanical rotors more than once, I can attest to the fact that you made this look 1000x easier than it really is.
Nice and simple method, thank you ! If you ever had time to show how this kind of clockspring rotor levers are made (particularly, how to dismantle/change a clock spring) I would be really interrested, I see many old instruments like this and I do not feel confortable trying to repair it, I fear not to be able to reassemble it afterwards...
I would have loved to do a video about this, but it was a customer's instrument and it did not need to be taken apart. I was not going to risk a customer's instrument to make a video on a repair that was not necessary. I have taken them apart before and it is a fascinating set-up. When I get one of my own or a customer instrument that needs this repair, I will get a video of it.
@@TheBrassandWoodwindShop yes of course, I understand that you do not want to take unecessary risks and time on a customer's horn. I was asking in case you have a there's a need to dismantle the spring. I should probably find a junk clock spring horn and have a try.
I have a blessing marching baritone and they play so flat I can never tune them properly. Is there a way to make the instrument play sharper? I already have the slides pushed in and have tried different mouthpieces .
Have a couple other people try playing it and see if they get the same result. If they do, you could try to shorten the main tuning slide. Other than that, I do not know what else you can do.
Alas, Art has solved the age old dilemma of fitting a round peg in a square hole😆😆

Gran trabajo!
Thank you! Would it be ok to create washers from Teflon sheets as well?

I would also be interested in seeing this. One of those things I don't want to take apart to explore unless it is my own instrument.
