Just joking around there Hans :) I'm sure that would probably set me back a lot of money to even attempt to order it...
You have to admit Hans, if you were rich you would want a lot of things to play with too. If I were rich I'd probably have four or five horns and two sets of valves for each and I probably would fork out a ton of money for the Veneklassen horn just to see what the fuss was about... but then again if I were rich I'd also probably waste a lot of money anyways so it's just as well that I'm not. I'm sure you could lap Titanium valves though, although you'd probably have to be there a while and use some really fine diamond dust or something. I don't think a garnet powder would do the trick there. With a hard enough 'sanding' grain you should be able to lap anything short of a Diamond itself. It just takes longer... But then again I'm no metallurgist so I could be wrong. -William In a message dated 12/7/2003 8:28:37 AM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > Lapping in titanium valves - I wish you much "Spass" ....... > _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
