| Same thing if you notice valves starting to get boggy and no matter how much you might wipe them out and reoil the situation doesn't get any better. Clean the ENTIRE horn paying particular attention to the use of the snake ... 'cause you've been blowing crud out of the pipes and into the moving bits. I once found that there was stuff floating in the washtub (plastic, green, trumpet washing, for the use of) and it was "Eeewwwww". Valves are happy again. Trumpet gets cleaned more frequently. |
