Machining trumpet valve bodies and adding balusters.
Просмотров 498Год назад
Just a short video of some of the steps in the process of building our valve bodies. Machining the valve interiors plus stamping logos and adding balusters. There is also a short section discussing heat treating and straightening the valve body. As a small scale designer and builder that does all of the work in my shop it is important to point out that I do not buy parts and assemble them into ...

These are the beginning steps in creating pistons for trumpets. I use monel for the piston body and 230 alloy red brass for liners. These are only the initial steps in piston creation.

Que instrumento lindo maravilha ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@antoniomorais6380 thank you
Bill Chase. Was a big deal. For my friend and me.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Brilhante Poderia fazer um vídeo do gabarito que faz as furações
I do have that video on my list of things to do when I have the time. I will get to it though
Vou aguardar
Qual é a distância entre furos é o ângulo para sequência de furos Qual o diâmetro da broca
The distance between the holes and the radial locations are proprietary. The hole size is .5". I can say this that the distance between the stacked holes from center to center is the same distance as the vertical travel of the piston during use. That distance changes from brand to brand as you might guess.
Valeu um abraço
Why use monel when many manufacturers use stainless or nickel silver,Which lasts much longer.
@@pasqualegallo8234 lasts longer? Bach and Schilke to name two brands have been using monel for a long long time. Stainless is an option that some makers use because it is cheaper to purchase. Monel is more difficult to machine but is predictable and does last for decades. Stainless usually requires nickel plating as well and do remember that the valve body is made from brass alloy and will also wear over time.
Time worthy video, subscribed.
Thank you for the documentary. I thoroughly enjoy your videos.
Glad you like them!
I love your videos man, there’s no one doing what you do on RUclips and I’m happy to see someone doing it!
Tell me which solder do you use?
The piston bodies are not soldered. They are brazed using silver wire.
Nice
Wonderful video Ron. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your craft. I appreciate the sense and feel you have for each step in the process. Your ability to complete every step on your own, as well as making your own tools, sets you apart as a true master of the craft.
Thank you so much!
Fabricating every component by hand has to be exceptionally time intensive. But I’m wondering if in the same way you demonstrated resonance on the valve cluster by flicking it, you could check and measure resonance on every component and sun-component throughout the process. Is that true? If so, is resonance again checked on each step sub-assembly and on final assembly? Does this distinguish your builds and offer improved resonance in any fashion?
The valve cluster has a certain resonance after the heat treating. Once it receives balusters and parts it acts as one unit during playing. The resonance is severely dampened by simply holding the trumpet while playing. As a result the bell and to a lesser degree the leadpipe are the areas where most resonance occurs. Because I do make everything here I can take the time needed to focus on weights, tempering and fit for each trumpet.
"Promo sm" 😂
Amazing Video #Greatthings
Just bought trumpet in almost perfect condition. "Almost" because of missing valves;-) I'm handy and I have needed tools including small metal lathe so sharing of your valuable experience on your channel is "what was missing". Since here in Croatia I couldn't find monel source here could I use some other but still OK material for the piston body?
If you have access to stainless steel it would work well. You could also use nickel as a base material. It isn’t as durable as stainless or monel but it would work.
@@benchmarktrumpets9733 Thx a lot for your support. Meanwhile I found valves and button replacement kit on Ali for about 70$ with shipping. Stainless steel would be choice if chinese valves wouldn't fit.
Fascinating video. I love working with my hands, and all types of machining and craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing your methods with us!
Thank you for sharing this
Audio level control is important the Music is 3 times louder than the rest of the video
great sound .
Thank you
Fascinating. I'm from another branch, violins, but the attention to detail is similar. cheers from an instrumentmaker in Vienna, Scott
Beatiful work and thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing, beautiful
Looks great Ron!
How many bells have you thrown across the room after burning yourself?
After 25 years of this stuff I have not burned myself with a hog bell or torch. I do however have several pitch related burns.
Great job and thanks for sharing your knowledge. By the way, never understood why all brands give up from all straight direct airflow block valve system, and keep doing the “misalignment” from each valve. There is any factors for and against ? Congratulations 👏
In short, there is no real direct airflow block system that exists. Besson and Schilke used straight connecting studs in the valve blocks along with third slide and bell studs. Keep in mind that even in these builds each piston is filled with curved tubes to connect each port. The “misalignment” that you mention doesn’t exist. To connect tubes drill on center you simply need the correct radius to allow for the needed alignment. Any geometry that is set up to generate the pattern of holes in a casing tube needs to be transferred to its corresponding piston, so it becomes a mathematical game of “will it work before running out of space”
@@benchmarktrumpets9733 perhaps I wasn’t clear. I’m not talking about “valve alignment”, instead I’m asking about why not adopting the “direct air column” through valve block, we already have it in all days. I thing Courtois still manufacturers like that. Will work like a “bugle” without curves on the relation’s valves. Never understood the simple “give up and abandon” of this system from almost every brand. Do you know ?

nice work
It's amazing. Great work. Thanks.
Monetteのマウスピースと相性が良さそう。
Excellent video. Could you suggest a method of plotting the piston ports from an existing instrument? I am a repairer in the UK and have an interesting project of my own that is missing a valve and the other two are beyond repair. I've always wanted to make a piston so your method would be the way to go for me so long as I can work out the dimensions. More videos would be great, always good to learn possible new techniques.
Mark, send me an email to benchmarktrumpet@gmail.com. I can give you the basics of mapping an existing piston so that you can potentially reproduce it.
@@benchmarktrumpets9733 Hi, I'm Jay from Transylvania. I work on brass instruments as well. May I send you an email for the exact same information, for mapping pistons to remake them, please?
@@McJays please forward your questions to me at benchmarktrumpet@gmail.com
@@benchmarktrumpets9733 Thank you very much, Sir!
Thanks so much for that vidéo ! I was looking for that explanations so much ! It was really helpful
I did realize after recording this video that I kept mentioning the wrong size. It is actually .6635” for the finished OD of the piston body after honing.
Ron, I actually posted and asked if you meant .6635 and not .635. I deleted it shortly after, thinking I did not want to insult you with such a comment. FYI.. your doing a great job, keep up the good work. -Bill
Fantastic video! What do you think of brazed tubes made out of sheet metal? Are there any significant differences between those made with the old techniques and those made out of regular tube?
Sheet tubes that are brazed can work for leadpipes however there is the increased chance of interior discontinuities due to the brazed seem. Newer pipes made from tubing are just more consistent.
You and the horn sound fantastic!
Thank you

Beautiful!
Thank you
I really need to make a trip up there and play all the great instruments you make!
I can always send you a selection...
Hey, Nice job ! If you want to make a long video about making piston part one day, I would be your n°1 fan :)
AMAZING WORK!!! (I guess this is the reason why most trumpet manufactures don't make their own valve casings) CONGRATULATIONS!!!
True craftsmanship! Fascinating to see this whole process!
Love that you are putting out videos now. Always learn a lot from following you.
Great video Ron! Really nice to see part of your process. Keep them coming!
