willson distributor in US

I visited DEG's website and could find no mention of Willson, only Dynasty marching brass...

Is DEG no longer the Willson distributor for the USA?

I need a third valve stem for a 2900. Any suggestions on who to contact?

You're sure about the Dave Surber email? Never rcvd a response from him. Just wondering. By the way, I second Joe's "pricy" remarks. It's worth every penny, though.

Highams, thanks for the info. I've sent him an email, hope he responds.

I also tried allied, but they don't seem to have a website. Hard to believe any business their size would be without one in 2009...

It's likely that the Willson distributor would not sell directly to you anyway, they don't want to be in competition with their retail outlets. You should contact a store advertising Willson instruments and ask them (good luck :roll: ) for whatever it is that you want.

Let me know if you don't get any joy, I think I know a UK repairer that has some.

FWIW, I have had terrific customer experiences from both Willson and DEG. Willson customer service is great.

I received a nice reply from Dave Surber:
We do not usually sell parts directly for Willson or Getzen.

Our parts are sold through Allied Supply corp.
Your local dealer or repair tech would have acces to them through Allied.

If you can't get a dealer to order the part let me know and I will see what
else we could suggest.

The Allied Supply part number is WL111 It is $39.75 suggested retail.

Please let us now if you don't locate a delaer or repair tech to order this.
I don't have a local Willson dealer, so will try the usual suspects: WWBW to start.
