Cornet Valve Block Corrosion & Mechanical Repair Analysis

Leave a Comment / Cornet / /

A Schilke Soprano cornet underwent assessment at our Lowton workshop, revealing advanced electrolytic corrosion on the valve block casing. Analysis indicates that high-acidity dermal contact has compromised the silver substrate, leading to dezincification of the underlying brass. This structural degradation necessitates mechanical intervention to prevent further loss of material integrity. We regularly see similar chemical
