Fourth valve addition on an Eb HN White Sousa

Post by PChadbourne »

Hey Everyone!

I thought I would share some photos of the project I am working on that is nearing its final steps!(just need to make a spring and paddle for the lever).

Basically what I did was I transplanted a Holton valve onto my Eb Sousa so i would have a fourth valve thus giving me a useable lowrange( aside from false tones)

Here's the link to my post about it on Facebook

I did add it right after the third valve it's just not right next to it because the tubing for the third slide was in the way. I also didn't really have a preference for which type of valve but turns out the rotor was easier to drop in...(I also didn't have a piston laying around!)
