Hi Everyone
At our Christmas concert last Thursday my plastic linkage between the throw arm and Thayer valve popped off (I was holding my mute in with left hand and must have bumped it somehow). Does anyone know of a better linkage setup for a Bach 42 with Thayer?
Thanks
Randy

Get in touch with Todd Clontz who now owns O.E. Thayer: https://thayervalve.us

I'd suggest calling him and leaving a voicemail if he doesn't pick up. He's good about returning calls.
