Just bought and picked up a 1956 Boosey & Hawkes Imperial Euphonium. Bought it on eBay through a listing Dave Werden posted in the For Sale section.
Excellent horn and will write a review shortly. Right now, I need some parts. I need basically all of the felts, pads, corks, etc. for the valves and water keys. Some are sort of okay, most are worn out or missing. I do not know what the basic load is for the valves regarding pads, felts, cork pads, etc. Does anyone know what should be there on this horn, and even more important, does anyone know where I can get these parts? Hopefully in the United States. I see some stuff for sale from Britain, but some do not ship to the US and some charge about a months wages for postage.
Would sincerely appreciate any help anyone can provide for finding the correct parts. I also need a lyre screw, the lyre holder is there, but the screw is missing.
