Walter has a spectacular aura about
Martin Committee Valves

I am wondering how replating Committee valves will affect playability. They are renowned for loose slots and and ease in moving around a tone....would this be lost? There has been alot of debate about the negatives of relacquering and the positives of alignment....

I would particularly appreciate hearing from the experts and those who have had their Committee valves overhauled.

Re: Martin Committee Valves

Hey Walter-the way vintage Martins slot and it's ability to move around in pitch is a result the flair in the lead pipe which is unique to these horns. You can have your valves redone without changing this. Best of luck with your horn
