Need Help Finding a Guy

Post by mjrctuba »

A few years ago, a guy approached me at a gig and gave me his card. He said he specializes in fixing up the valves on Meinl Weston tubas - bore them out, I think, and put in metal valve guides. I wasn't in a position to look into seriously then, but I am now. Thing is, I lost the card.
I think he's in Indiana, or at least he was a few years ago.
Does anyone know who this might be?
Your help is appreciated.

I don't specialize in Meinl valves but I think Martin Wilk (also in Indiana) may be your man. If you can turn him up in the TubeNet 'members' section... send me a message.
