>I have been told that Walter Nirshl makes all of the piston valve sets for M.W.(2145,2155 and 2165),Hirshbrunner and of course his own horns.
Not true. I was at the Nirschl plant in March, and Melton (Meinl-Weston) last year. They each make their own valves from scratch, both pistons and rotaries.
