Question:

How can I properly lubricate a Baritone?

I just got a Baritone ad all of the valves are sticking and I have no valve oil. Is there something else I can use besides valve oil? I took them out and I don't know which wzy to put them back. Can someone fid pictures or a guide to help me?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The valves have notches in them that align with a groove on the horn.

You can temporarily use almost any form of lubricant lightly, but clean the valves when you get oil and reapply it. And some lubricants will taste awful - you'll know it from playing the horn.
