I was able to finally inspect my troublesome horn with your video. Thank you so much!!! Thanks from Texas.
0:51 "...or the cap to your valve oil." Wow! Great idea! It's been sitting there presenting itself this whole time and I never saw it!
You actually skipped the first step, but demonstrated it. Putting on old man glasses. =P
So I recently discovered that the thing connecting one of my valves to my French horn was broken. Help?
Give us a call at the shop. 617-522-0532
@@kenpope6549 if it gets worse I will,but I can still play fine so I'm not going to do anything unless my actual playing is affected
@@no-sleep-studios9047 I hope that doesn't happen during a concert!
Where's there other videos? The dent removal and etc? :)
wow! what's exactly happen there?
How can you ensure that the valve aligned?
The best way is to visually check it since the hash marks on the top of the rotor are typically filed by hand. At the minimum you would just use the hash marks on the top of the rotor.
"Can't even find your horn." Haha
Damn! So THAT'S how it's done!! Jim
Wow thanks I'm a beginner with my French horn. How do you oil the valves. My 3rd valve gets stuck sometimes.

@MietteTiger:Some of us old-timers have found many reasons to remove rotors (and every other part).The logic of a horn's plumbing is not difficult to understand.Also,there are times when an emergency fix MUST, ASAP, be made,and the skilled Mr. Pope is not available.A rationale Mr. Pope would agree with,would be that by pulling the rotors,one can discover the need for an internal cleaning(a common need). I see that Mr. Pope,like Roland Berger,has a hanging horn for every tune.

Miette: People tend to remove their valves so that they can (attempt to) clean them by themselves....
Thanks, Ken. However, you haven't given any reasons for one to remove a valve!
An exercise for the reader 😀
cool
Where can someone order a valve punch/drift? Is there a specific size? Thanks!
A valve drift or punch is just any non-marring type of material (I use brass) that fits inside the rotor stop arm in order to knock the rotor out. I just grind my own on a grinding wheel, but one can use a file as well.
This is a good video - but it could be a great video with the addition of a tripod and better focus.
early days..... we'll get there.
Excellent detailed demonstration, Ken. Thanks.
That was one nasty 6D!
The Hoyer is not quite that easy but I will try to remove them or else send to Wes Hatch-- great article though..
Thanks Ken, Great video.
Thanks Ken. Great idea and great video. Ross McLean
