' anyone have one of these rattling around in a draw collecting dust, before I make one out of stuff that I have sitting around here?

Re: 5th dependent valve (#4 slide assembly w/rotor and trigger) for YEP-321
If one were to go through the trouble of making one of these, wouldn't it be 'better' to make a replacement main tuning slide with a valve in it (assuming clearance, enough dollars, and desire) ?

Re: 5th dependent valve (#4 slide assembly w/rotor and trigger) for YEP-321
I made a king 2280 into a independent 5 valve euphonium. No regrets, and I love the instrument. If it had the tone of my Packer, I'd play it every day
Yep, I'm Mark

@cjk
The bore of the main slide is very large and tapered, as well as the location being awkward.
The spare rotor that I have is more of the bore size of the fourth circuit. If I bother to install it - dependent or independent, I probably won’t sell the instrument.
Three euphonium-type instruments seems quite extravagant for a doubler, but I am a doubler who is paid to double, and – not being a euphonium superstar – their diverse strengths assist me in sounding competent to those who hire me.

Re: 5th dependent valve (#4 slide assembly w/rotor and trigger) for YEP-321
I've often wondered about a 1st valve slide trigger. There is quite a bit of slide length in that circuit.
I'm kind of hoping that nobody has one for you so that I can see what you come up with, bloke. Sorry.

Re: 5th dependent valve (#4 slide assembly w/rotor and trigger) for YEP-321
A #1 slide trigger would be pretty easy, and would offer:
E-flat
D
D-flat
a sucky/sharp C (unless #3 were also pulled)
I believe E-flat and D are enough, though a C would be sorta nice.
Though this instrument is (now that I've hastily gone over it) "dent-free enough", it's not perfectly dent-free.
There's a small chance that I might "jack up" the (currently: perfect/floating) alignment of the #1 slide when removing some minor #1 casing slide crook dents, so I would probably (at least) remove those minor dents prior to installing such a trigger.
There is also a very easy way to install a PERMANENT dependent 5th valve in the #4 circuit.
