I was emptying my new (used) Getzen Capri and the Amado spit valve came
off. The break is clean luckily. It's on the main tuning slide.
How hard is this to fix? Not that I mean to try it myself but wondering
what I might expect to pay to have it fixed.
I'll probably have to ship it somewhere because I know for a fact there are
no qualified brass repair places near me. The closest might be Nick Rail in
Santa Barbara which is about 140 miles from me. If I must ship it, I might
as well send it to the best and get it totally checked out. Any suggestions
as to where to send it? Back to Getzen? This is nearly a 30 year old trumpet
is that has any bearing.
As a side note. Now that I am starting to get my embouchure back I was
noticing the horn had a little bit of a raspy leaky sound but I couldn't
figure out why. I thought it was air leaking from my lips. Then the valve
came off.
I plugged the hole with my finger and tried playing again. The tone was
crisp and tight. It sounded like a totally different horn. And I was able
right off to hit that high C that I had not been able to get before. So
that's a good sign at least.

Thanks

Where are you located? I suspect there are some much closer.
