Laser-Engraved Valve Cap Customization
At Balu Musik, we pride ourselves on being pioneers in the industry. We design products that not only simplify the life of a musician but also add a touch of elegance to your instrument. Our laser-engraved valve cap customization, a signature Balu innovation, allows you to personalize your horn with intricate designs. Instead of offering generic valve caps, which would be impractical given the wide variety of horn models, we take your existing valve caps, enhance them with precision engraving, and return them to you, now uniquely tailored and visually striking.
The Customization Process
- Find the design that you think will look most beautiful on your horn.
- Purchase a set of 4, 5, 6, 7 caps, corresponding to your horn model.
- Ship us the valve caps from your horn. You can wrap your now-exposed valve rotors with some low-adhesion painter’s tape while your valve caps are away. You should do this mostly to protect the interior of your horn case from leakage of rotor oil.
- We will keep you updated as we work, with progress photos of the process that will make your valve caps beautiful and eye-catching.
- Your valve cap makeover will be complete within 48 hours of receiving them.
- We promptly ship them back to you. When you receive your valve caps put them back on the horn.
- Rejoice!
Pricing for laser engraving for a set of 4 caps is to $300* + $7 for return shipping [each additional cap is $75].
*In the event that your caps are heavily scratched or aged, we will contact you about our $25 Renewal Package. Before we can add the beautiful abalone of your choice, we must remove all old lacquer, then machine/flatten deep scratches, and finally buff the caps to a brilliant shine.
