I might be looking to get one or two 19.5mm rotors for a project but have no real idea of the cost of a rotor or where to get them.
I know Melton/Meinl Weston sell parts and presumably would sell any slides and tubing required too?
Any ideas?
Best,

Re: How much is a rotary valve?
The last rotary valve I priced was was about $300. You can figure perhaps $60 per small crook and maybe $20 per foot for brass inner and outer slide tubing. Buying specific materials for a project can get in your pocket pretty good.

This maker well known from top notch horns also makes tuba rotors:

The text says that they will make blocks of 3 through 6 rotors, but as they show a single rotor, you likely could get that also.
