Fantastic video. Right to the point. ❤

This first time I cleaned my Bach I put the valves in the right casing but they were backwards

Blue Juice is good for clean valves. If they're dirty the detergent properties in it will flush out grime. The oil and grime mix will cause sticking. It's a good oil but I think it smells bad.

🖒🖒💚

Thanks

My new Bach was dirty with compound

My band director told me to flush out my valves but I don't know how to. Is there anyone that can help?

Excellent ! Thank you so much saved a long trip to the city and solved 2 problems on my new pawn shop Clarinet

thank you very much, I had a problem with B low in my clarinet, and with your video I find a solution! :)

Is there no sound with this video?

So helpful. Thank you for taking the time back in 2013 to do this. It's still helping others like me :-)

Amazing! I'm now feeling smug because I've fixed my A and Bb clarinets.

Thank you so much!

I have a sousaphone that has over 300 dents in it...everywhere! I was going to try and remove them myself but after watching you work - no way! Great Job!

What did you do here? 0:37 I didn’t quite catch it...

good

How to i fix my D key

I lost my screw what else can i use

2:16:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:

What do I do if the felt is starting to fall off? Can I stick it back on somehow?

Can somebody please help I don't have one of those Rods you put the cloth on

Problem with The Cheesecloth is that the little fibers tend to break off the cheesecloth and then into the pistons or get in between the valve casing and the pistons cheese cloth "esta Merda"

You forgot to do something...

🖒

Where did you get the MDRS mount for dent machine? I have not seen that. Would love to get one for mine. Nice vid.

I start middle school next year and decided to take band. (Trumpet) I'm using an old trumpet so this video was really helpful with the cleaning. Thank you!

2:22 ;0; that key your adjusting might or may not be uhh kind of umm well bent all on top of the one beside it preventing me of playing any note besides F and G

Blue Juice is terrible stuff. It has too many additives and builds up this nasty blue crystalline stuff. It does not play nicely with other oils so if you run out and try to borrow some oil from someone in the section it often will not work right until you clean the Blue Juice out wash the horn and start over. A lot of guys that buy old beat up 3 valve baritones and tuba's will use a 50/50 mix of Blue Juice and 3in1 general purpose oil. I have seen so many trumpets where the valve stems are glued in place with teal colored crystallized Blue Juice residue.It was a Horn-U-Copia recipe long ago. Blue Juice creates more problems than it solves. The more additives you put into an oil the less lubricity it has because the oil is what lubricates not the additives. At the most you might want to add a wetting agent and not much more. Oil does not interact much with things it is the additives that cause issues based on a persons body chemistry not the oil itself. The most important thing to stop stinking is periodicly cleaning the piston and the bore. Fluiding the horn with oil is a band aid fix for a dirty horn. Junk builds up in the imperfect surfaces of the piston and the bore. When you see oil bounce off the piston or run right off with out wetting the piston or bore that is a sign that those surfaces are deeply dirty or valve oil is poorly designed!

Rotating the valve inside its casing is never encouraged. Sure, you just cleaned it, but in the event of some debris, grit, or sharp edges in there, you'll score the valve around its circumference, and find yourself with potentially major difficulties some time in the future. It's good practice to only insert the valve straight in or out, the direction it is intended to travel. If you do score the valve this way, it is much less likely to be a trap for oil and other particles, and if it is, it won't fight against the direction the valve wants to go.

YESSS THANK YOU SO MUCH

Nooo audio

Anyone know how to sort out mixed up valves??? please respond!

What's the tuning slide on that instrument I have i think the same one but I don't know which ones the tuning slidr

Thx needed that so badly #Bighelp

Mine just not making sound at all but I know how to play it

Glue some leather on those plier's it save you from marking the key.

What happens if the valve doesn’t click and how do I fix it ? I tried oiling it more, and making sure it was facing the right way but nothing worked. Also, the spring inside the valve, what if it falls out? Is there a certain way to put assemble it back in? PLS HELP ME

Chopsticks wound with soft no lint cloth work great on valve tubes . La Tromba syn oil , best on mkt Lasts long but dont mix and clean off valves before converting

thank you so much, my a key was all weird and the angle of the camera hinted me the exact position. Now i don't squeak anymore

5-6 drops? thats a litlle overkill...

I use Hetman's Synthetic, great stuff

Exactly what I need man, except I lost the screw, that's a bill for me now ;-;

thank you so much for this! It helped me a lot.

Thank you very much for this video. Very simple yet a lot of information.

Always clean a new brass instrument thoroughly before you play it for any length of time. There will be a lot of construction "dust" inside the instrument. Do not mix Synthetic Oil with Petroleum Oil or you will likely create one gummy mess. Choose one type of Oil and stick with it.

I don't hear any sound with this video. (Other videos on KZbin all operate OK for me.) The video covers a topic that I a desperate to know more about, as the screws on my tenor needs attention. Is there any way the sound can be added ?

Hi. this brings up my question; the circular ring part your bending isn't centered on the pin (on my Sax). when I center it, the mouth piece and all is pointing left. is that normal, or something I can adjust?

لو الطريمة صوتها كاتم كيف أحل هذه المشكلة.وكيفية تقفيل اماكن خروج الهواء من النفس

Great video. Thank you!

I had a brand new trumpet and im a new trumpet player, after playing it for a while one of the valves got stuck and I found this video. Thanks so much for the video!
