Overview
This genuine Greenhoe Lexan valve cap with retaining ring is manufactured in Chicago at the Schilke factory and is compatible with all modern Schilke–Greenhoe tenor and bass trombones. Many players choose Lexan caps as a lighter-weight alternative to standard brass caps, offering a slightly different feel and feedback during playing.
As an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) component, this is the same style of part designed for use on contemporary Greenhoe valve sections. While not a required upgrade, some players prefer the tactile response, lighter weight, or simply enjoy having an alternative cap option when fine-tuning their setup.
Greenhoe does not regularly sell many of these small replacement parts directly, so we maintain inventory for players seeking fast, no-friction replacement or experimentation. Sold individually.

Player Perspective
Lexan caps are selected primarily for personal preference, not mechanical necessity. Players who use them often describe a slightly lighter feel at the valve or a different sense of feedback. Standard brass caps remain fully functional and durable—this Lexan option is simply an alternate choice for players who enjoy fine-tuning their equipment.
