Thread: 1970s Besson New Standard Euphonium Finger Buttons Thread Size

  1. To all:
    Pulled a finger button off my New Standard 484___.
    My screw ID gauge says it is an 8-32, number 8 bolt with 32 thread.

    1960s 4 valve and 1971 3 valve Besson New Standards (Denis Wick 6BM) for regular playing
    1936 Conn 5 valve 30I Double Bell (Bach 6-1/2AL) General Purpose Back -Up
    1924 Buescher 5 valve (the Denis Wick is close) and 1940 Holton 5 valve (Bach 6-1/2AL) Double Bells for kicks.
    1860s OTS Saxhorn when history is required (the Denis Wick fits)

    These are the ones I put on my 1973 New Standard and they fit great!
