Besson / Boosey and Hawkes - Black outer sprung Valve Guide

The person I spoke to in the brass section was really helpful and very polite I didn’t know which parts I should be ordering, but she even went and got some and measured them whilst we were on the phone Excellent And thank you

The supplier responded:Thank you for your purchase and for taking the time to share your feedback, we're pleased to have helped you find what you were looking for!

Although the service is great from your selfs. The value guides weren’t round in the middle they were nearly oval. What I normally order is first class. This is just a small hiccup

The supplier responded:Dear customer, Thank you for your feedback, I'm sorry to hear that the valve guides weren't right for you in this order. If you'd be happy to send over some pictures to us I'm sure that we can look at rectifying this for you. Kind regards, Kasey Stone - Dawkes Sales

Did the job. Prompt and helpful service.

The valve guides are good quality but I have found that the underside needs to be ‘eased down’ a bit with an emery board to stop the top of the valve hitting it on the up-stroke and causing the spring to rattle. This is on a Besson Sovereign tenor horn with new felt pads under the screw caps. The original valve guides didn’t have the same fault but I have found all the replacements so far have.

Very good. Posted quickly

It was a replacement part and works as it should

Exactly the right part to keep my lovely old cornet working like new.

Correct bits for the instrument

Only place in the world to get these parts!
