Bach Stradivarius Valve Cap/Casing Thread Problem #2: Band Instrument Repair Detective

[@MikeSpeakman]

Love to watch your video's, i have learned so many repair techniques from you that have helped me with difficult repairs in my tiny garden workshop. My tool collection is limited so i often have to make a tool or improvise with other tools as you did in this video, thank you from across the pond. Your channel and ingenuity is very much appreciated!

Man, you have a lot of patience! I think i would have made that trumpet into a lamp. Very informative videos!

[@MrEh5]

I wish someone like had a shop like that in my area. The one shop we do have can't fix anything especially it it's a Bach. And that's bad for me. I have a Bach that is only 2 years old, and it is junk. I was warned not buy a post-strike Bach but I did. The valves always stick, and they take turns. The shop here can't fix the problem. I paid $3000 for the thing. I also have a King 2055T and it's as close to perfection as you can get. Doesn't sound like a strad, but at least I can trust it.

I built trumpet pistons at Bach for 16 years and have given out the post-strike advice many times!

Hi ! Is it possible to let me know the valve thread?

[@bryguy08]

That soft black ring on the valve cap got loose and idk how to put it back in

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

Put a little glue on the bottom side and glue it in. I use shellac but if you don’t have that, you can use any type of glue.

There is a neat trick to make sure you NEVER crossthread anything ever again: When you seat a thread, first turn left (anti-clockwise) until you feel it drop down (sometimes you need to add a bit of pressure) and seat, and then turn clockwise. If you aren't certain about feeling it seat: keep turning it very slowly anti-clockwise; you should feel it eventually. I have not cross-threaded a bolt, screw, or anything threaded in about 10 years! lol

I like to use a little slide grease on the threading once the casing is adjusted.

[@jbmusicschool]
