Heavy Valve Caps for Euphonium
Rick, for reference, my Sterling heavy cap is 162g (5.7 oz.); the std. wt caps are 17.3g (0.6 oz).
Assuming the Yammy cap is similar in weight to the Sterling std. cap., a stack of 25 quarters (5.67g each) plus a penny (2.5g) would get you pretty close (161.26g); the length would be ~45mm (1.77"), but you'd need a stand-off of some sort so the stack doesn't block the vent hole. Alternatively, you could use a stack of steel washers.
I'm interested in what you find out, too.
