Post by vd8m9 »

Is there a place where I can find replacement spit valves online? For King 2341 tuba

What vintage? Some of the hardware on the Kings changed a bit over the years. Not much... but just enough that sometimes you cannot just replace the waterkey without changing the saddle and spring, too.

Waterkeys for the modern King 2341 with a fixed upright bell are available from Conn/Selmer but you'll need to go through a music store or repairman to get a replacement.

Current 'stable'... Rudolf Meinl 5/4, Marzan (by Willson) euph, King 2341, Alphorn, and other strange stuff.
