Dear Art, Thank you for this - I've been going back over lots of videos trying to find out what the tubes in the valves are normally made from as I need to make a replacement in a similar manner to you in this video. Can you or one of the viewers tell me what is normally used? Thanks so much as ever for your videos - a priceless source of knowledge and inspiration. David
I thought I would watch a minute of this video to see what it's all about but then got hooked and found it so interesting so I watched it to the end, great editing too, all your videos are interesting and as I said before, there are only a few of you master craftsmen around , I appreciate all your work.
If you've ever seen a valve from a 4V compensating Euphonium, then you (should have) seen a valve with more than one bore size, but I don't ever remember seeing a valve so obvious. Short action valves do you one better and have two different shapes of ports on one valve. Yeah, this is really fascinating and impressive work. At one point, the soldering didn't look so promising, but it cleaned up great.
I was wondering something similar... if I understand your question properly. Maybe historically it would have just been way too hard to drill a hole at just the right angle straight through a solid piece of brass and have the ports line up right where they need to. I guess these days CNC machines can do whatever you like, but maybe there's something to be said for a part that can be serviced like this and not just replaced in the event of damage... or maybe old habits die hard. (But I'm no expert.)
Some unbelievable work there, Art! Incredible watching a person of your skill work.
how did i know that trent would be watching 😂
@@brhim5731 it is his euphonium after all
I'm excited to see the rest.
Art, i am enjoying watching your new restoration series. Welcome back.
Great work Art 👍
Just as fascinating as always Art. Thanks for sharing and love to all the family.
What a fascinating process. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Aprendo mucho con tus videos. Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos.
That is some beautiful work! Loving this series!

Great stuff. I hope nobody is being billed by the hour for this job though!? =) Labour of love
Also, I thought Andersons had stopped doing valve replates? Guess not.
I love watching the series that you do. I'll never do any of this myself, but I like seeing a master craftsman at work.
Very interesting! Hope the rest of the valve work goes smoothly!
Been wondering how exactly piston valves were constructed for a while!
Wouldn’t it better a solid brass valve without the tubing when they manufactured it?
