The Thayer Problem 

I’ve always wondered what the difference between valves was. Now I know. Thanks for finally explaining it in a way I can understand. One of the things that drew me to the trombone with the simple design. I don’t really want valves on my trombone, other than a spit valve! 😜

This is very nice, thank you. I’m currently renting an ancient Thayer bass from my school. I’m planning to buy my own sometime in the next few years.

Great video and info. I am pretty good at sharpenning mower blades so I believe I could take care of YOUR valve problem.

Aiden, great video! Have you had any experience with the Hagmann bass trombone valves? What about the Greenhoe rotors

Great video Aiden. As an engineer this is the exact reason I've never bought a horn with thayers even though the best horn I've ever played was a shires with dual thayers and a dual bore slide. I'm currently playing a 1983 50B2 belonging to a band though I plan on making them an offer for it and having a set of Olsen valves installed though not decided on standard or infinity version. What are your thoughts?

Hello Aiden Question.......i heard you mention some of the new infinity axial valves play well and some don't can you elaborate some on this from you experience etc.......... Also I've notice the original Thayer valves are really very open ( I can only assume that's the intention) compared to the new infinity axial valves. Is it possible the new infinity axial valve is mis aligned? Thank you Ps.any suggestions recommendation if needed for a tech to take a look

Anybody know where you can obtain replacement Thayer valves/parts?

My Thayers are totally stuck on the spindle end, they pop up a tiny bit (enough to clean under there) but I can't take them off fully
