From https://www.hotelxcaret.com/en/gastronomy/ : The deliberately tongue-in-cheek Xin-Gao restaurant.

A quick internet search came up with:

Dawkes https://www.dawkes.co.uk/spare-parts/trumpet (with whom you already have experience)

Thomann https://www.thomann.de/gb/replacement_parts_for_brass_wind_instruments.html

East Coast Instruments https://www.eastcoastinstruments.com/shop/index.php?route=product/search&search=trumpet valve springs (with whom I have no experience)

Although the cost of custom springs may be high, you might contact https://www.airedalesprings.co.uk/springs/compression-springs/ .

Getting in touch with these companies may result in success or at least point you toward other suppliers.

Clipping springs, while lowering the height, increases spring rate, rather than reducing it http://kbdelta.com/blog/spring-rate-what-and-how-calculated/ .

@bobmiller1969 Interesting designs. Your approach to creating these mutes is admirable. Please let us know when your videos become available. BTW - what material(s) do you use to make them? Bamboo?

He was piano #1 IMO. http://www.bluenote.com/mccoy-tyner-1938-2020/ I had the good fortune to attend a concert of his perhaps ten years ago. Superlatives are inadequate to describe his playing.

@ButchA Methinks you're not a stranger to electric guitar. World class licks there, my friend!

@barliman2001 I hope all goes well for you.

@BigDub said in Artist on BOARD:

A commission I am working on, it may be done. The paint isn’t even quite dry yet, and acrylics dry pretty fast!

I can almost see the dog panting.

@administrator No humor allowed!! You've derailed this thread!! Shame on you!!

Random? Possibly. Meaningless? No.
