CarolBrass valves

All pistons for CarolBrass valved instruments are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is superior to other materials because of its durability and resistance to corrosion, a leading cause of valves sticking. Because of this, CarolBrass valves will perform flawlessly for the life of the instrument.
