| Re: 3rd valve stuck!!!! Do you have any cotton cloths in the case with your horn?
I sold one of my horns to a high school kid and his valve stuck during a marching band solo.
I went to his house and took the horn. The first thing I found in the case was a very linty cotton cloth. I took out the valve tuning slides and every one had lint accumulated beyond anything I had ever seen between the valve case and valve. I took out all of the valves and cleaned out the lint.
I suggest strongly that he get rid of the cotton cloth and whatever he was doing with it to stop.
