Amado Water Keys on my Bach Trumpet

I chose to use my silver soldering jig and a toothpick to get the proper alignment during the 
soldering process.  Lead free solder was used for this operation because when it is cleaned and 
buffed it will blend in with the silver plating of this trumpet.  I chose to use a raw brass Amado
water keys rather than silver plated.  I've already, awhile ago, installed lacquer plated valve caps, bottoms and buttons. I like the two toned look.
