Can anyone explain what valve trimming is ? I've heard of Brendan powers doing this.
And is that what the PT gazell valve set-up is (when they come with the little bit of unvalved slot) ??

I will ask Brendan when I see him, should be tomorrow or the next day.
And then I will call you!

I'm with SoulHarp.
I think he means trimming the very tip off of the valve so that a very small bit of the reed slot is not covered by the valve. I know PT does that.

I asked Rupert, he says the reason for trimming is to alleviate valves sticking. He says they still do their job, which means that the bends are valved bends.
