 |
|
I bought a Bach Strad several years ago that has some buttons that I absolutely live. They are thin, brass, and rounded rather than just being flat. I would like to put similar buttons on my other horns but I don't know who made them. Any ideas?

| Thin style (but not rounded) buttons are available on Carol Brass, but their specifications are most likely different from Bach. You could always try custom order based on the buttons that you like. |

Maybe a picture of these thin buttons would help.

Also keep in mind that other valve buttons could mess up your valve alignment. Been there - done that. Returned to original.

your best bet might be to go through the custom horn builders like harrelson, taylor and monette and have them build them for you

Curry makes thin buttons for the Bach Strad, but they aren't rounded. They fit fine, though, and don't alter the alignment. They normally come silver plated, but I ordered a set in raw brass and had them lacquered.
