WTB: B&S-ish Large Valve Buttons in Silver

Post by Michael Bush »

Looking to buy four valve buttons like one would see as original stuff on a large-valve-MW/PT#P/Hirsbrunner/etc., ideally in silver plate, but brass would be fine too.

Heh.

I don't like the feel of these buttons. As we've discussed, I'm not nearly good enough a player to be held back by the weight of the valve hardware. But your new stems are very cool. I might have to have some just for the cool factor.

I've ordered these buttons from factory before and they were expensive... I'd call Martin Wilk and see if his buttons would be similar to those large-valve B&S/MW (or Hirsbrunner) horns.
