WATER LEAKING OUT OF THE BOTTOM VALVE CAPS HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH THE
TIGHTNESS OF THE VALVES.CONDENSATION TENDS TO MIGRATE TO LOW POINTS.
THIS IS A NATURAL TENDENCY ON ALL INSTRUMENTS. BOOSEY HAS ADDRESSED THE
PROBLEM BY PRODUCING GUTTERS WHICH CAN BE CLIPPED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE
VALVE CAPS TO CATCH THIS CONDENSATION. AS FOR REPLATING AND REALIGNING
VALVES, THIS IS A NECESSARY EVIL. VALVES NEED TO BE REALIGNED AT LEAST
ONCE A YEAR TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF FELTS WHICH COMPRESS AFTER USE.
PLATING SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE DONE FOR RATHER LONG PERIODS OF TIME,
PERHAPS 10 YEARS DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF USE. TYRONE BREUNINGER
