Here's wishing you the best of health!

@Trumpetb I am living proof that a trumpet player can both suck and blow when they blow. Hope this helps.

@J-Jericho Nice Bach C...

I noticed.

I found a better picture for the article:

Well, featuring the reversed image of trombone player Stefan Schulz, however accomplished he is, doesn't fit the subject of this article, although substituting a video of Terry Clark in place of something featuring Clark Terry lends a certain continuity to the veracity of the author. Besides, if SSmith1226 isn't on the list, something's not right!

IMO this is not a peashooter. One characteristic of most peashooters is that the lower tuning slide enters the valve block on the same side as the bell. Another feature is a tight bell crook wrap. A smaller bell diameter is not uncommon. Also, the valve body is usually short, with bottom sprung valves. Peashooters are known for their bright sound, as well. A quick internet search reveals these examples:

This American Standard has the tight wrap, but with a customary tuning slide entry:

Here is a Bohland & Fuchs with the opposite tuning slide entry and all the valve slides on the same side of the valve block:

I'm not familiar with that model, but I did find this, FWIW: https://contemporacorner.com/cornets/regent-cornets/

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/ .

So they got together like oil and water....

@Vulgano-Brother So sorry to hear of your experience. I wish you a speedy and complete recovery! I expect that you will get good answers to your questions, and I also expect that time and patience will be part of those answers. Your doctors should be able to help guide you, too.

@Andrew-Stark Welcome to TrumpetBoards!

I've played and owned more than a few trumpets, and I'm cured of N+1, so my #1 instrument is my 1962 Olds Studio, which is not only my favorite Olds, but my favorite trumpet, period.

The Olds Recording cornet has a tuning slide trigger, too.

I stand corrected. Here's the explanation:

Here's how I post photos on TrumpetBoards:

2. Use https://fileminimizer-pictures.en.softonic.com/download to compress the file.

3. Click on the Upload Image icon (second from the right above the message body in Reply on TrumpetBoards).

4. , Select the FILEminimizer version of the image.

5. Click Open (my example result below).

@barliman2001 I hope rehab goes well for you and that you'll be back in good health soon.

I'm going to listen to the philharmonic symphony orchestra, where I expect to never be exposed to the compositions of John Cage.
