Valve guide help!

Post by RSorenson »

Hello all,

I am in need of some euphonium valve guides for an Olds euphonium. It's similar to the yamaha valve guides but with a larger valve stem hole and the valve guide nipple is shorter. Anyhelp on where I could get these would be great!

You can probably modify a Yamaha 321 valve guide to fit. I've done that with a pocket knife for a student who had a valve twisting in his King 2280 at band camp. Or... maybe a King guide will work. Their holes are bigger (elongated) and the index nipple is at the same place.
