How did it affect the sound? I just realized yesterday that the valve caps on my Yamaha YBL-830 are in fact aluminum.

Both valves are indeed ported, so the heavy caps helped stabilize the sound lower end I immediately noticed. Took a brace off since it detached any how. Haven't done anything with out the rotor caps. Man this horn is no longer a choking point. He did amazing work to these valves!!!
