King Parts??

Post by CNCBrass »

Greetings All,

I have a couple of different items that I am looking for and wanted to check here to see if anyone has some parts laying around. First, I have an old style King 2341 that has 4 different valve buttons. I believe that one out of the 4 of them is a King. I am looking to obtain 3 so that I have all of the right buttons.

I am trying to help out a friend get his old style King 2341 into playing condition. The slides have been badly damaged, holes and tears. It has been kicking around in his garage for years and he is now interested in getting back into playing. This tuba has special sentimental value to him so it would be great to get it functioning for him. I am wondering if anyone has any slides and associated tubing that they would be willing to part with. The valve section itself seems to be i fine working order.

Please let me know if you have any of these parts and maybe we can work something out.

Thank-you,
DH

Fingerbuttons, crooks, and even inner and outer slide tubing are available from most any repairman/dealer.
