Re: Old horns

Did they clean the horn (and valves) or just free things up? A chemical clean might free things up, or if you are cheap and looking for adventure, you can take it apart and soak it overnight in a solution of vitamin C powder and water. Rinse it with a solution of baking soda and water, then plain water.

If the valves still stick, maybe a thicker valve oil is in order.

Have fun, and welcome back!
