Also we will unveil brass valve stems for Elkhart and a separate stem for New York Bachs to further fine tune sound characteristics. The Brass Bow is pleased to announce a new product for Schilke and Bach Trumpets. Through many years of custom brass work, we have learned the benefits of using metal valve guides on many different makes of trumpets. Because of very distinct improvements in sound and response from even using just one metal guide rather than an entire set, we have made the effort to produce metal guides for Schilke and Bach trumpets. Currently we make the only Copper valve guides available.
Copper adds a broader, darker sound and smooth with round response.
The Brass Bow is please to announce the addition of the finest state of the art cleaning system ever provided in any professional musical instrument repair shop. Everything from the dimension of the tank, all of the controls, and even the cleaning solution has been chosen to give the most complete interior cleaning ever done on a musical instrument. For the musical instrument repair industry, ultrasonic cleaning provides a new tool for the cleaning of both internal and external surfaces. This tool can save time by greatly reducing the manual labor normally required to clean instruments and eliminates the need for using such dangerous chemicals such as strong muriatic and phosphoric acids for cleaning. The old method of chemically cleaning of instrument sometimes also referred to as acid cleaning, required the use of sometimes very strong acids or long soaking times to clean out the organic matter that accumulates inside of all instruments from use.
