Thanks. I subjected the horn to the test and the third valve is definitely the worst of the three. I think I may send it out someday. I ordered two bottles of that yamaha synthetic vintage oil from my local music store. I definitely appreciated that tip. What do the rest of you think. Should I consider replacing it?
