Good day,
I have two horns that I am building that I need valve sets for. I'm pretty sure to get what I want I will need to buy new. For anyone who has ordered a new valve block before where did you go for this? Were there any major road blocks to getting valves from a company? What was pricing and ship time like?
Thank you in advance

4 piston 1 rotor for both. I already have a rotor section and it either won't work or is bigger than I want.PaulTkachenko wrote:Pistons or rotors?

What companies use meinlschmidt piston valves? I know a lot use the rotors but who uses their Pistons?

I know they make the MAW valves that drop into B&S horns but have never heard of full piston sets.quesonegro wrote:I think they only make Pistons for trumpets...

Re: Where to buy new valve set
A company known for their piston valves was/is Bauerfeind GmbH, lead by Norbert Roth, Alte Mainzerstrasse 16, D-64569 Nauheim, phone +49-6152-65555.
Bauerfeind has been taken over by Adams. So perhaps you can buy valves through Adams as well. N.B. Bauerfeind had delivery problems some time ago.
Willson is a good address, as Meinlschmidt is.
And you could contact B&S at Markneukirchen, as well as Jurgen Voigt at Markneukirchen.
