Hi,
The best spot for that little piece of cork is the bend in the THIRD valve slide, IMHO.

Hey Tom - I've actually played around with all 3 slides and like the change at the first valve location the most on my lighter horns (a 6310Z and a Calicchio 1S/3RM) - got a standard weight strad (for the occasional legit gig) that I need to play with a bit before I decide if I need a Blackburn pipe to settle it down - maybe corking one of the other slides will help out a bit - TC |

Someone said that a dime might seal the bottom of your cylinder so that it compresses? Valves are hollow. There is the monel tube we call the valve, and there are brass tubes going through it connecting the holes. Beneath the spring in top-sprung valves is a hole that opens the valve up to keep it ventilated, and I suppose, to keep it from having compression problems. You'll notice a hole on the bottom of the valve? If you pull your valve out and run water through that bottom hole, you'll see where it comes out.
That's like...the only thing I know about trumpets, and not even about them all. It's like that in my P5-4's and Bach's valves.
Thanks for the input,
Aaron
