The MAW Valve
A Master Craftsman of Brass Musical Instruments: Martin Wilk
Here, we like to make things better. From designing a new piston valve to refurbishing a cherished old horn, we use our experience and dedication to improve brass musical instruments.
In the world of brass, Martin has made dramatic contributions to the art of making music. His MAW Valve is one of the most significant innovations in piston valves and the manufacture of instruments in more than a century.
Each horn is handled with old-world craftsmanship. The handwork, such as bending branches or smoothing out dents, is worthy of the old masters.
Improved instruments, evidenced in the way they pour out sound, in the way they feel to a player, in the way they catch the light on a beautifully rounded surface
