Where can one buy replacement valve guides for a Carol Brass trumpet?

Thanks,

Doug Teeter is no longer the Carol Brass distributor. Contact Steve Dillard at The Horn Trader. He's been the new distributor for over a year.

Thank you - I went by the Carol Brass dealer list quoted in my above post. I was not aware that Doug Teeter is no longer the CB distributor.

Doug is still with CarolBrass. I spoke with him last week. He was deemed too valuable for CarolBrass to let him leave.

Rich Ita's Brass Workshop sells Carol Brass parts. I ordered valve guides from him a few months ago. He's an east coast guy though.

This is turning out to be harder than it should be.

I have reached out to two people. One has not responded, the other gave me bad information.

@BreakFromTheHerd - 3rd try is the charm. Rich Ita says that he can help.
