Nirschl 6/4 York gig bag and valve guides...

[number]

Has anyone got any information on where to purchase a suitable gig bag for a Nirschl 6/4 York?
Also, for those that have this particular horn, and may have had some problems with the valves being quite sticky and taking a while to get used to, what is the best way to get in contact with Nirschl and have some metal valve guides sent to me. The plastic ones I now have on the horn are not helping my situation, apparently, and it was suggested I contact Nirschl to get metal ones.

Thanks for any info.

I'm using the plastic valve guides on my Nirschl 6/4 without incident. Regular oiling and cleaning makes all the difference. As far as gigbags, Donna Altieri makes a fine one that I use.

When I ordered mine, several months ago, they did not have the measurements for this particular instrument. However, I believe they should still have the measurements.
