If you want actual Meinl-Weston springs, I'd call Matt Walters Monday morning.
The Dillon Music phone number is at the top of http://www.dillonmusic.com/

If having an original Meinl-Weston spring doesn't matter to you, any shop that does brass repairs should have something that will work.

10 years ago, I got a set of springs from Kevin Powers in Michigan very cheap.

If I were you, I'd rig it up with rubber bands to get my valve working again for the interim.


Cheers,

Christian Klein

I bought and installed Mirafone springs on my B&S PT6. They are much thinner guage than was the original. I really like the softer feel. I purchased them through Brasswind and had them within 24 hours.

1. why would dillon music have meinl-weston springs? Getzen makes meinl-weston.
Nah. Getzen doesn't make Meinl-Weston. Getzen used to distribute them, don't know if they still do.
2. Are all of the springs a standerd size or do i have to make sure that the springs will fit on my tuba?

I've never bought replacement springs that didn't fit.
