Ive got a similar issue with a saxophone i borrowed recently. I am beginner and Im having problems playing the 4 lower notes since they overtone. Are there any ways to do a similar repair job at home?
Hi, I wouldn't recommend doing repairs on your own if you have no experience on saxophone repair. Try to find a woodwind repair technician in your area.
My favorite horn.... Silver plated for classic , beautiful ans soft.
excellent
Yep that’s it. The way each one blows matters too, volume & airflow pressure makes a huge impact on it. Another point of view it’s, if it’s worse with zero gap, why not chose a larger Backbore ? The big names havee we been talking about the gap only on trumpets …. There aren’t Gap on flugelhorns ?
Well said! I think gap is not such an issue in flugelhorn because it has conical bore and not cylindrical like trumpet.
@@timyllymthere aren’t Gap in Flugel Systems. The mouthpiece enters directly in Leadpipe. So, there aren’t any hall tube in the way…… What makes a Gap it’s the Receiver with Pipe matching, originating a space between the two.
They are indeed 'killers'
thanks for letting our eyes into your life!! great playing!!! i loved all your quoting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello! Is it possible with monel ? And what is the process ??
Hi, you can't electroplate monel because it's an alloy. You can only plate with pure metals.
@@timyllym Ok. What is the best to electroplate on Monel.. nickel ??
It is usually good to have a layer of copper first because copper sticks well. Then final layer of nickel because it is more hard and slick.
Ho can you brass plate a silver ring ?
Hi, you can't electroplate with brass because it's an alloy. You can only plate with pure metals.
@@timyllym The Ai said that the electrolite solution need to be a half mix of cupper and zinc sulfate
Do you check the bore of the valve to make sure the (holes in the piston)haven't gotten smaller?
The valve ports probably did get a little smaller in diameter. Ideally the ports should be covered with wax, white-out etc before plating.
Cool video. I enjoyed the backstory and history. I just bought a Selmer USA as my first bari and I agree that it has a fat sound. It was previously a school horn so mine needed a lot of work in the regulation. Also just got an Otto Link Super Tone Master 7 and i'm excited to try it once the horn is out of the shop.
Thanks! Selmer USA is excellent value for money.
Hi Timo, this Video is very interesting. It's a good ideal, to make the plating at home ! It's funny, that you plate a nickel valve . I'm playin my Getzen Severinsen Trumpet since 1979. But the nickel plated valves work very well..I think, these nickel valves are definitely the best kind of valves. Your plating method will be much more interesting for users of monel and Steel valves and Ithink, the method is the same..copper and the nickel, correct? Best wishes from germany, peter
Thanks Peter! Yes, method is the same for monel and steel. Copper sticks easily so it goes first and then final layer with nickel.
Thank you, this is very informative. Do you carry Dark honey gold Lacquer (cognac) spray to touch up an Alto P Mauriat 67RCL Saxophone? or do you know which color number that matches it?
Thanks! And no, unfortunately I have no idea of those lacquer color numbers.
thank you for the video, I always wondered how that was done.👍
Thanks!
Hello. ı bought an 1982 Tenor JK toneking. ı want to raplace the pads. Could any one tell me where İ can find New pads.
Hello, you can buy pads from several places e.g. musiccenter.it, ferreestools.com or musicmedic.com, but if you have no prior experience in repairing saxophone it is best to leave it to a professional repair technician. Changing pads looks easy but it is fairly difficult to get them seal well without any leaks.
poor volumn
What an excellent and informative video, thanks! ...I have one question, how did you know the valve casing was perfectly round without mic-ing it?
Thanks! For this video I just inspected the casing with light to see there are no dents, but you can't make sure it's perfectly round by just inspection. I usually use a ground casing mandrel but I didn't have exact mandrel for that casing. To be absolutely sure it'd need to be machined with lathe. www.ferreestoolsinc.com/products/n58a-ground-casing-mandrel-631-700
What the name song?
That song is My One and Only Love
@@timyllym Thank you!
This video is very informative. Thanks for making this. What is in the acid dip? what chemicals or solution is in it? What chemical do you use for silver plating?
Thanks! I have used chemicals from Gateros and Tifoo, but you can get similiar products from any company selling electroplating stuff. www.gaterosplating.co.uk/product-page/gp-jewellery-pickle-salts www.tifoo.de/en/silver-plating-solution-250-ml

What type acid did you use to clean with
I use this product from Gateros Plating: www.gaterosplating.co.uk/product-page/gp-jewellery-pickle-salts
Does a professional trumpet hurt the development of a beginner trumpet student?
If the bore size of the professional instrument is something regular and not extremely small or extremely large, so the trumpet is easy to play, then I'd say that it can't hurt, it will only assist.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! You mentioned applying black oxide for an even patina... may i ask what kind og black oxide you used? And could you perhaps explain a little moor about how you applied it? Thank you
Thanks! I bought it here in Finland (link below) but I think you can easily find it anywhere. I applied it with a sponge and then washed surface with soap. webshop.sar-machine.fi/verkkokauppa/en/home/1878-sar-blitz-black-oxide.htm
Fantastic work!
Thanks!
i know the melody i think Leo P plays that on the BBC proms
Yes! That is the baritone intro for Moanin' by Charles Mingus.
Excelente video! Es un tema muy ignorado por muchos trompetistas y es muy necesario este servicio para nuestras trompetas.
¡Gracias!
Beautiful work. How may hours would you estimate that you put into this project?
Thanks! Quite many hours I think, I didn't count.
Beautiful sound. Thank you for the informative history of Besson.
Thank you!
When I began playing saxophone in the 4th grade in 1968, it was on my dad's 1937 Handcraft Committee. He had bought it used from a college friend sometime in the late 1940s for $50. I still have the horn and use it as my back-up alto. I recognized that sound as soon as you started playing! 🙂
That's a story! Thanks!
@@timyllym You're welcome! I was just looking at my horn last night. Do you have any idea as to the make/model of the single-engine airplane engraved on the bell?
No, I don't have any idea.
Probably any of a number of planes that were around at that time. Looks a bit like The Spirit of St. Louis. @@timyllym
I love the fact that you are excellent at repairing old brass & that you are a very good player too! - Blessings.
Thanks!
Where are you based ? I need a 10m done
Found your video fascinating. One question. Did your electro-plating reduce the sized of the pass through holes of the value?
Thank you! Yes, you are right, electro-plating did reduce the diameter of the valve ports, I should have covered the ports first.
Very good...excelent information
Thanks!
My grandfather is Michael Mosiello. I have his trumpet, I believe it was his practice trumpet.. What can you tell me about this trumpet? MEHA depose 89659
Hi, it's probably a pre-war instrument.
Where can I email you photos of it?
Will the plating fill in light pitting ? I am doing a gold trumpet making it silver
Plating won't fill pitting. You have to sand down the surface first to remove pitting. Also buffing and polishing must be done before plating.
Much appreciated! Thankyou.
Valuable information, but fantastically horrible audio quality. Please work on that side. Greetings!
Yep, I've bought a new mic after making this video.
Mouthpiece?
Wedge Y14B4
Hi and thanks for you video. Is there a way to get a good finish on the bottom of the inside of the cap? It’s cut with the drill bit tip, so not the best finish. Any ideas?
Hi, the inside bottom should be cut with a milling machine, but unfortunately I don't have one.
Well, your knowledge of colourful metallurgy is pitiful..😂😂😂
I actually own the huttl version of this trumpet and it’s my favorite trumpet by far as a music major and my second favorite is the silver colibri (another huttl very similar to this) These horn are very unique and are extremely dark sounding. I’ve notice that the beginner models are pretty mediocre but the professional lines are extremely good at the cost (or benefit) of being extremely heavy
Good afternoon, is this tin soldering fluid made by you yourself? or is it industrialized?
Good afternoon, I liked the work, what is the grit of the sandpaper, 120, 320? and why aluminum foil to remove burrs?
Thanks! I use 400 grit
@@timyllym E o papel aluminio qual a função. não poderia ser uma lixa ou lima?
Hello. Do you have an email adress? I would like to get in touch With you.
How much do you charge for a whole over haul like this on a True Tone ?
Hello, thank you for your efforts in passing on highly precious knowledge. I'm from Brazil, I'm learning about replating the valves, I watched a video by an American technician: czcams.com/video/8VFQ6s0WDpk/video.html , where he had the replating done, but he worked on the valve body, so that they would be cylindrical too, I noticed that in your video you skipped this part only worked on the valves, my question is: do you believe it is unnecessary to work on the valve body? Thank you very much
Hello, thanks for your message! Straightening both the body of the valve and valve casing are essential, it needs to be done first. I refer to this in my video, but it is maybe emphasized too little. In my case the valve body and casing were already straight, so no work was required for them.
@@timyllym Hello. Many thanks for the reply!
Does this gap theory apply for Trombones also?
No, I don't think so. Trombone Mouthpipe is different than in trumpet, there is no gap in trombones.
@@timyllym Kiitos. Ostin juuri Venttiilipasuunan ja tarkoitus on vaihdella Trumpetin sekä Pasuunan välillä. Sotkeeko ansatsin, en tiedä, mutta näyttää toimivan näin amatöörillä.
I have this horn, but 3rd valve trigger(yet)
Nice to see a trumpet resurrected! Excellent, simple video.
Many thanks!
Great videos! When you do tank plating, how do you know how long to keep the item in the tank? Does so many minutes equal a certain amount of plating thickness? When you are brush plating, do you have to stop at certain design line on the trumpet? What I mean is, does the new plating blend in well with the old plating, or can tell tell where you plated and where you didn't? Thanks!
Thanks! There are calculators in web for counting the needed time, e.g. www.goldn.co.uk/brush-plating-calculator/ but for brush plating it is more difficult to count the time. Brush plating blends in quite nicely, it is more about how well you have made the buffing and cleaning, so how shiny the surface is, so you don't need to cut it to certain point. But edge may be still visible if you look carefully.
Hi Timo, Awesome Video. I thought I recognised your accent, and with a name like that, I thought surely you are from the fine country of Finland. I have a good friend of mine who lives in Kuopio. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! And you are right, I'm from Finland.
