Try Chuck Ward. Chuck used to work for Conn and was one of their designers. I am sure if anyone can make the change, he can. He also does great valve re plating. Milton Milton Kicklighter 4th horn Buffalo Phil

Sadly he must have taken this knowledge to his grave." Walter wasn't the only person, but I don't know of how many are still around that can. In the 70s there was a shop in Ft. Lauderdale, Lytle and Schatz IIRC, that also performed this operation though, sadly, they are no longer around.
