Any condition okay. These are proving hard to come by these days. Any leads would also be appreciated.

I've never seen one for sale! You'd have more luck finding a Conn 40K I would think. I'll keep my eye out.

Ya just never know when or where one will pop up. While traveling, a friend of mine spotted one in an antique store in Spearfish, South Dakota. I called the shop and bought it sight unseen. I had to have a piston made for it but to save a horn it was worth it.

Where does one go to have a valve piston made. Just curious. I don't have a need currently, but good info to file in the back of my brain.

Years ago I had zig Kanstul make a valve for me on an old King Eb Monster.

Not sure if his son is doing that stuff anymore.

Dan Oberloh is the next obvious choice

Nate was recommended to me by Sam Gnagey and by Martin Wilk.

In 2003, Nate made two valves for a 1921(?) Conn Grand Orchestra BBb that I wanted to bring back from the dead. Beautiful work, reasonable price, friendly service, happy tuba. (Harvey Hartman lapped-in the new valves and assembled the instrument.)

Maybe this thread should somehow be reposted to the "Repairs" forum. No doubt lots of people have wondered where to have valves made.

+1 for Nate! I've been to his shop and interviewed him for an independent study I did regarding instrument repair, design, and construction. His tuba has a valve section he built himself, from scratch! Casings, valves, everything. Very slick...
