Water Catcher
Great idea Dave!
The problem with my B&H Imperial is that the bottom valve caps do not have the nipples to affix such a catcher. So, I've learned to deal with the droppings. I've attempted trying what Rick has suggested....ordering a set from a currently made model instrument....and Besson made logical sense because they are the current descendants of my Imperial. I've approached David Fedderly about this and he just started laughing....apparently even when the Music Group was still in existence, the parts distribution supply chain was practically non-existant. With the situation now, forget it with Besson. Maybe after a couple of years when Buffet gets their act together I might have a chance.
I've contemplated going with another manufacturer's bottom caps but have been reluctant since it is unlikely to find a match. The Sterling might be the closest potential match since former Besson employees started that company. Dave, any ideas?
