since there's not a forum for all other instruments, i'm guessing this goes here

had my trumpet chemically cleaned, and tuned up, and i oil it regularly, but one of the valves still sticks (but only when played in combination with other valves. what's a boy to do? any horn players here?
should i get it checked out by someone else?

I play a lot of horns as well. Have you put it in the bath? That does wonders for horns.

just a bath of hot water?

Yeah, you'd be surprised how amazing that works.

awesome! i'll definately give it a shot. i don't have a tub, but i'll borrow someones

BTW, what toher horns do you play? i've been interested in getting a marching french horn.

mellaphones are really cool. I play mainly low brass, trombone, baritone and tuba. Ive dabbled in trumpet but not extensively.

i'd love play trombone. i dn't know if my lips are big enough though.

Hot tub does wonders almost for everything..

(interested in the outcome, never played any horns,eh, do like clarinet, but that dosnt classify, I suppose)

My bro plays french horn for a living.... and is always taking his horn apart and bathing and oiling it. I'll see what he says.
