  • Join Abi from the Dawkes workshop as she takes apart this Edwards Bass Trombone valve section which features two Axial flow (or Thea style) valves. These units are modular and are designed to be taken apart in sections.
    Abi discussed the modularity of the design, some important facts about cleaning and maintenance of these valves and we also get into some slide cleaning.
    Dawkes Music operate the UK's leading Wind & Brass workshop with over 3,000 customer repairs per year. Check out the site for more info: www.dawkes.co....

    Thank you! I’m relatively new to repair work and got stuck with one of these at my job and had no idea how to get the rotors out this helped a ton!

    Abi did a fine job of showing and explaining but she earns bonus points at 8:50 for mentioning "making it easier for the next person" to take apart by doing preventive lubrication. If only more technicians would be pro-active about doing things correctly, many repairs and maintenance tasks would be simplified and ultimately, save money for the customer.

    Thank you for sharing this comprehensive video about maintenance of the Thayer axial-flow valve ! I think this video should every bass trombone player benefit from seeing at least the ones whom has got Thayer valves on their horn.

    That green stuff is VERDEGRIS which will occur on any copper based alloy - copper, brass and bronze. Brass is copper and zinc, bronze is copper and tin. Verdegris is actually quite poisonous if ingested. I suggest using a face shield when removing it. Great video. Thank you. Ian

      Face shield unnecessary as long as you don't suck the verdegris out of the tube. Been repairing brass for over 20 years and never had a problem with it.

    First, thank you for share this video and spread this techniques for free!
    In 14:50 Abi said that she used a "foam strip to polish".
    Can you inform what kind of foam is? Brand, specification... Any kind of information is welcome!
    Thank you in advance!
