Hirsbrunner BBb 3 to 5 valve conversion project (photo's)

[Wilco]

Hi, it plays much better than the original. I guess it plays about the same as a factory horn (I played on a piston HB BBb once). It plays much more even than the compensator. A plus is that the funky response on low Ab, A and G is gone (probably the leadpipe).

' just curious...

' acquisition cost + conversion cost...??

bloke " 'no answer' as an answer is acceptable. This really isn't any of my business."

Ratio is 1:2 ballpark... 'not reallly an answer'

I wish I had the cash for your comp valve block.

Are they for sale?

Hello,

i'm very glad with the positive comments on this revision.
On facebook you can find more pictures of this job, http://www.facebook.com/#!/media/set/?s ... 613&type=3" target="_blank.
The old valve set from the tuba of Wilco is not for sale, but we did this revision once more and i have
1 complete set, with tubing etc. 1 set with only the cilinderblock.
I will do a other make over with the same modl tuba, and also a older type HBS Comet also 3 valve compensator.
For those who have interest in a valve set or tuba, you can contact us at.
