Might be a pretty niche question, but does anyone know if Instrument Innovations valve tubing will fit Meinlschmidt valves?
Apologies if this has been asked before!

Re: Meinlschmidt tubing
Depends on the bore size of the valve and if it comes with ferrules on it or not. If the valve does not come with ferrules then they can be fit appropriately for whatever tubing you go with. If it does, they may have to be taken off and bored to fit the tubing you choose to use.

Re: Meinlschmidt tubing
What is the project you're looking at ?
The II tubing is drawn by M/K Drawing and Bending, and is measured in inches (.562", .594" etc) Mschmidt valves are metric. So the tubing is close (.590" on the bass valve knuckle for example) but not exactly the same size. I wouldn't sweat it. The .004" difference in tube dia. isn't going to make or break the project success.

Project I'm looking at is actually a bass build with the O'Malley NY50 bell.
