Rotary valve replacement springs

mrfixit08 · 07-11-2008, 01:12 PM

Hello,

I have been searching for replacement springs, for my kuhlohorn, and have not been able to find a source. I finally took the horn, to a repair shop and, they are also finding it difficult, to find the clockwork type springs, for the horn. If anyone knows of a place to buy these, I would greatly appreciate the information. I was able to get the horn working, using the springs from an old rotary valve trumpet wall ornament, but those springs only lasted about one month.

Thank you

Welcome to TM, mrfixit08! Clockwork springs are tough to replace. I had mine on an old Schediwy replaced by Norbert Boepple in Germany: Willkommen bei Musik Böpple He respects old instruments, and will give you a beer if you come to visit.
