A tubist and friend--whose opinion I respect-- has suggested I vent the 1st valve of my 186 Mirafone. This is to make the upward slur easier and more smooth. My questions are:
1].Do you notice a great difference before and after, those of you who have had it done?
2].For the repair techs out there--is it a problem to do, how much should it typically cost, and are there unforeseen drawbacks to doing this [ie, is it adviseable?]?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
