Question
Where can I get used valves for my 1902 holton bariotne. Thanks

Answer
Basically your options are to get another 1902 Holton and swap the valves, or get some custom made.  Unless there is something really special about this horn, it probably isn't worth the cost.

Another thought, if you have the original valves, even if they are damaged, it may be repaired more cheaply than custom making a new set.

Expertise

Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB site.

Experience

I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
