Just before I began working at Holton , an experiment was done with Louis
Stout. Louis Stout was as respected as Phil Farkas by Holton.
Horns were air tested in the testing room on a manometer. If the air test
was below a certain level, the rotors were taken out and plated and

Just for the record, my previous comments about removing bearing play from

I guess there are three people that can make good valves go bad. The

Several posters to this list have claimed that you can improve the air seal
of a horn by removing the end play, causing the valve to seat lower in the
casing. Because the valves are tapered, seating the rotor lower will cause
the side wall to move closer to the casing. That's the theory.

Hi Paul,
As usual, your points are good ones. At the risk of ignoring Mark Twains

This thread has been very interesting - I am full of
appreciation for the detailed insights provided by
real experts. It leads me to conclude that leaky
valves come about from a combination of corrosion and
mechanical wear.
Corrosion from acidic stuff spat into the horn

That is an Ostermeyer edition, and we would be happy to supply that for you
if you like. Please feel free
That would be the single Bb model already in production. You do however
have to FORCE the high notes.

Do you know if these newer models are going to be at any of the

BTW,
The "2" in the number refers to string. 5801 is metal linkage. There
are now a couple of new 5802's. One is the 5802 PM which is a small

Hi Mike,
The 5802K has undergone some changes, and is now more of a true Geyer
wrap. This model is being released in a couple of months. The difference
in appearance is that the branches entering and leaving the valve
cluster are straight instead of curved "Knopf" style. I'm a bit biased,
as I ha
But, Dave, there is a very cheap solution:
Dont let the valve rotors & casings corrode. How ? Keep your
mouth clean before & during playing. Sometimes, teethbrushes
seem to be unknown. Avoid acidic intake before playing &
during intermissions. Keep the horn clean. Dont expose it to
aggressive envi
