Greetings,
I'm working on laying out the valve circuits for an Eb tuba I'm building. I'm using the valve section from a Conn 12J BBb tuba, but several of the crooks are cracked and/or have holes in them. If anyone has any of these crooks (or same bore size from a different horn), please let me know. I'd like some that I don't have to mess with patching. The crooks I most need are the top crooks for the first and third valve slides.
Here's a photo of my mock-up circuits, dry fitted at the moment.
Thanks!
Any 0.656" crooks lying around?

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

Hmm... I'll have to mess with it tomorrow. It showed up when I was writing it, but maybe because I was logged in to Google and it was just showing up for me. Thanks for the tips on the cracks. If I can't find a couple crooks, the ones I have are salvageable, I was just hoping to find a few if anyone has some. Thanks bloke!
