Have any owners of Boosey Solbron tubas had the valves replated? Did they play reasonably well then? I am trying to sell one through John Myatt in Hitchin, the UK, but if I cannot, then I may rebuild the valves. I am not sure whether it is worth it if it is not going to play reasonably well. Thanks. bill.
