Subject: RE: Valves on instruments From: GUEST Date: 11 Sep 03 - 09:46 PM 19th century. Definitely by the Civil War if you see the pictures of the marching hornmen with their backwards saxhorns. The original trumpets had stops as on a flute but they didn't work well for the trumpet and valves were installed. |

Subject: RE: Valves on instruments From: GUEST,Les in Chorlton, Manchester Date: 13 Sep 03 - 12:54 PM Thanks a lot. I guess I was trying to tie this to the thread on Uillean pipes. I feel that the level of technology needed to construct effective valves is comparable with that needed to make said pipes. Is that about right? |
