Don't know whether this is the right forum, but I need a replacement spring for a 1903 Flugelhorn. It has bottom sprung valves, and the second valve spring needs to be replaced. Does anyone know where I might get one? _________________ 1945 Martin Committee

Apologies for the bad joke. Just couldn’t resist.
Best of luck on the valve spring. |

If you have an account with Allied Supply they will have what you need. If you don't have an account find a repairman who does and have him order them for you. I just ordered sets for my bottom sprung flugels and Couesnon piccolo and they were perfect (and quite inexpensive). The Allied catalog shows photos of all the springs they offer so a match should be easy.
