For a while now my Euphonium (an old Besson Sovereign) has been making a loud noise whenever I pressed the valve and ignored it as I only use the instrument occasionally. When I took the piston out to work out what was wrong to my horror the bottom section of the valve piston had worn away so the spring cannot sit correctly within the valve casing. Was wondering whether this was fixable or anything I could do to repair it myself. I was thinking that perhaps spring dampeners might create a semi permanent fix but perhaps they would just compound the issue as they wouldn't sit correctly? Any thoughts on a fix?
Many thanks,
