My horn is owned by the school, so it is not on tip top shape. One of the major problems is constant leakage from the valves, I already tried to use the Jor-El Grime Gutter but the only good that did me was scratch my valves. Wessex Tubas sells a water catcher that I might purchase but it's designed for their Dolce line (essentially a 642). Does anyone have any products known to work, have tried the Wessex water catcher, or know if the Yamaha bottom caps will match my Meinl's?
