Replacing used parts

[Ottisiii]

Any suggestions for replacement parts ?

If I'm not mistaking, Allied Supply is loaded with options. They are not retail, though, so you have to go through a music store.

@kehaulani Thanks so much

@kehaulani Looks like an industrial supply company

Allied has a lot of replacement parts, but only sells to those in the business. It would help to know what you are looking for replacement parts for, and who will be doing the work. If you’re going to go through a repair shop, your tech will have better resources for parts than you will.

https://mouthpieceexpress.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=510 is a good starting point, and eBay can be a source for parts, as well.

A trumpet or any brass instrument is not an assembly of parts like a car is, it is a fabrication like an airplane or an air conditioner and requires talent to replace the parts correctly and competently or we crash and burn.

I would only replace a very few parts myself on a trumpet and for all the rest I go to a good tech. It is worth the money and the wait.

For all the parts that I am willing to touch, a quick internet search on "trumpet parts" yields the suppliers of them including ebay dawkes thomann amazon

Home repairers should not be working on the main fabricated parts of an instrument other than to learn the craft of instrument repair. A poor repair can render an instrument useless and require a visit to a tech.

If you are serious about wanting to learn to become an instrument tech, then you will probably want feree's tools to help in the fabrication and repair of the parts including dent removal.

I would consider further research on the topic including jewellery manufacturing techniques. The two occupations instrument repair and jewellery manufacturing, and closer than many think.

I cannot think of any finer aspirations than to become either a competent instrument tech or indeed a jeweller, both deserve huge respect and they have mine.

Finger buttons are pretty easy to replace.

I know a few plastic surgeons I could recommend.

[flugelgirl]

@ottisiii just make sure you find buttons specific to the model of your trumpet. Changing the buttons can change the valve alignment.

Glad you could drop in, flugelgirl.
