Question:

I just got a new brass instrument, i tried putting valve oil on it they are still sticking really bad...help?


what should i do i tried wiping them off and everything what should i do?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: reapply the valve oil
put them back into your instrument
repeatedly push the valves up and down (fast) until they stop sticking
also, try putting the valve oil on the little bump up top that comes out to match up the place correctly
if there is a particular trouble spot, press the valve up and down right on the spot
you can also try to loosen and tighten the key at the top of the valve (the part you push down on)

if all else fails, take it to the shop Source(s):
