Adding klappen(s)

Hello folks,

Recently got an awesome deal on a Yamaha rotary and I want to add some vienna klappen(s) onto this rotary. Anyone know someone who can do this job?

I also have a Yamaha and wrote to Wayne Tanabe in NYC about this.... unfortunately he never answered, so maybe it's not possible from Yamaha

Hi

In Europe the atelier service in Germany do this.

For my Yamaha rotary C a chap called Eddie Veidt did this for me. I was offered the option of sending my slide in for him to add the klappen onto or he’d make a complete new slide with the klappers on.

I chose the complete new slide. It was very reasonably priced - I’m sorry this was a few years ago and I can’t remember the price but can remember I was shocked at how cheap it was.

When it arrived it fitted perfectly and works a treat.

I hope this helps
