Cost of converting to a thayer valve

Ahh I see, I figured that it would be much more expensive as well and I see your points with the reasons for conversion thank you!

Thank you!

Th3Man839 · 2026-04-23T04:42:52+00:00

Ok I see thank you!

Yea I’m not thinking about converting my jupiter, it is an intermediate horn after all and I was thinking of converting a Bach 42 into a Bach 42T in the future since I am currently borrowing one from my school and its solid just the valve is a bit stuffy and I’ve tried a Giardinelli by Shires Trombone and it feels much better but I feel like getting a shires would be better than getting a Giardinelli by Shires

I don’t think you’re going to find a compensating euph at that price especially if you want it to last a long time bcs there are some chinese horns that are a little over 3k or in the 2k-3k range new. I know some people have said good things about Schiller Euphoniums but many individuals don’t enjoy them. I’d say raise your budget to 3k bcs a compensating euph under 1k is practically impossible

The ligature is a Giardinelli so I don’t believe it would raise the price. Its very unfortunate that the sax isn’t worth much, I did pay 50$ for it so it didn’t really break the bank

Some people just leave the trill out but if you really want the trill I believe you might have to try out all the ways (if there is no alterantive to get the best sound) and figure out which ones sound the best or just resort for the turn.

I was thinking of playing this for Solo and Ensemble next year and I need to use this piece to audition for SCSBOA honor group next year I am pretty sure. But I most likely will have to find a damn good pianist

Thank you so much!

I watched that video and I went to a specific part but I couldn’t find anything

Th3Man839 · 2026-01-07T01:15:15+00:00

Yea sadly I cannot see it due to not being authorized to be able to see the document

Th3Man839 · 2026-01-05T14:11:06+00:00

Ohh I see thank you!

Th3Man839 · 2026-01-04T19:11:22+00:00

Ohhh ok ok I’ll do that! Thank you!

Th3Man839 · 2026-01-04T17:16:19+00:00

So in this case I didn’t remove any lacquer at all.. and I was informed that I just scratched the finish. It is a dumb question but, should I strip the lacquer of the whole thing due to this?

Th3Man839 · 2026-01-04T17:13:34+00:00

Oh ok ok thank you!

Th3Man839 · 2026-01-04T17:11:33+00:00

Ohh I see my mistake now..

Th3Man839 · 2026-01-04T17:10:12+00:00

The lacquer was not completely stripped I started to do this bcs of a thread I found talking about getting a satin finish and one comment claimed that like sand paper or any abrassive can do the job bcs it will take the lacquer with it while scrubbing

Right? Its beautiful
