In Reply to: Why do Meinl-Weston valves suck? posted by Dan Bradley on February 26, 2001 at 16:17:39:
I have had exactly the opposite experience on my two Meinl Weston tubas, Model 2145 and Model 2000. The valves are the smoothest operating I have ever used. These valves, like all piston valves require oiling before every usage. I use a high-quality Swiss valve oil, "La Tromba" T-2.
