      Yes, I have a rotary valve cornet, and there are return springs. Not on the valves themselves, but springs are involved in returning the valve to the straight through position. I was just responding to the bad joke Dr. Go was making a few posts ago.

      Allen valves. Every time I see one of these (given how remarkably well some of these antiques still play) it really makes me wonder about valve alignments being mostly placebo. . . .

          Allen valves are cool, aren’t they? Very fast action from the small diameter rotor, too. Unfortunately, the valves have become pretty worn from all the playing I’ve done on it the past 25 years or so. The rotors appear to be made of bronze, and I don’t really want to alter the originality of the instrument by having a valve job done on it.
