I'm in high school right now and I need to bring mine in for what I'm assuming is a dented valve. It's also the third one. It has been sticking for the past few weeks and oil isn't helping it

This morning in band I grabbed my Mello out of the case, went to try the valves to double check if I needed any good ok valve oil and all 3 values were pushed down easy but just didn’t come up. After the valves did come up they were perfectly fine(took them out and inspected them) and went on playing stand tunes for another half hour with 0 issues lol.

[@Rootbeer120]

Bro music teachers do not let you get away with not playing unless you absolutely can’t. “Your wrist is broken and you can’t play your violin? Practice the fingerings.” “The bridge of your cello shattered because somebody tripped in it? Get the Frankenstein school cello that might be missing a string and that nobody wants to play or attempt to tune” (the cello one was indeed personal)

[@mari.k.]

I had front teeth pulled in middleschool prior to braces. I wasn't allowed to play my tenor saxophone to avoid dry sockets. My director was quite grumpy about it, I was something like 12yrs old

[@mari.k.]

Oh and our "Frankenstein" was a half sized double bass. Named Scratchy, oldest and most beat up. Kept the best tune, and easiest to learn on for Jazz band

[@AdamOwenBrowning]

me reading this in astonishment that your schools could afford one cello, let alone a few and then one that can sort of go spare. I had to take a small loan to buy my first clarinet as a lad How the other half lived when they were 12 years old! I can imagine the kinds of elitist, stuffy teachers you got in environments like that we had one bass guitar and one acoustic guitar - both were nearly 20yrs old because they were the music teacher's personal instruments - I say music teacher, but he was on the salary of a teacher's aid because the facility couldn't afford another teacher. Jolly old England...

Don’t wanna play? Don’t be in music class then.

Give your horn a bath and if it's been cleaned at a shop, wash the valves with baking soda and dawn soap. They're either sticking because someone cleaned it with mild acid and didn't neutralize it fully or your horn is dirty and the gunk is sticking your valves when the oil dries
