Heh, guess I made 3 or 4 valve caps tonight.

I'll take Bass Ale if that ever happened to my Besson.

I've been using this one for years. . . just glued a cap to a bolt with the proper threads, the trick was finding a little rubber o-ring that allowed the valves to align properly:

You guys jest. All it takes is a picture of someone doing this to a Yamayork, Nirschl, Hirsbrunner or other high-dollar horn and it will become the "mod of the month." To make it that much more serious, someone will post on TubeNet how the lighter aluminum caps improve everything from speed, tone, tonguing, libido, golf game, fantasy football.....you name it.

I'm glad no one has posted such a picture.

But you know, the crimps on a bottle cap look awfully like the flutings on the top valve caps on a Besson. Hmm....
