Thank you for your valuable suggestion. I am on my second set now and will no doubt have to take advantage of your idea soon. Now here is your next challenge:
I recently obtained a new piston valve section from Mirafone (it's the smaller BBb model) and grafted it onto an old York body. It plays like a dream. The pistons are very light and fast, and are arranged in a nice arc, somewhat like the Weril. They have clear soft plastic bumpers that work perfectly now, and a new kind of plastic valve guide. I am wondering how long they will last and how I will be able to get replacements.
