thank you so much I've been wasting so much oil trying to make my piston not to get stuck it works perfectly now thank you

Thank you very much. I have a concert two days from now and was worried about sticky valves. It worked perfectly!

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!

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!

heah

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

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.

thanks for the info it helped me a lot

Thx needed that so badly #Bighelp

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

I use Hetman's Synthetic, great stuff

Thnx!!

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

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.

I like the idea of oiling from the bottom. I'll have to start doing that. The guy I take my instruments to for repairs and servicing told me to stop using Blue Juice. He says it's one of the worst oils you can buy. I found my valves were seizing up after being stored for a while in cold weather. I'm now using Holton Electric Valve Oil, which seems much better. Over oiling turns out to be a bad idea too. If you're applying it fairly often, a drop or two is all you need.

Interesting. I knew there must be someone who likes it for trumpets. I assumed most people just buy it because they like the colour :) I guess it's due to the much warmer climate, where you live - I live in the UK, where it's a lot colder. Oils get thicker (more viscous) in a colder climate. Maybe it affects them in other ways too. The repairer I mentioned has since said that Blue Juice is fine for bigger brass, like tubas, maybe euphoniums, but not for trumpets and cornets - I guess you could add "at least, not here". I tried UltraPure for a while, which suited me better, then I bought a second hand cornet which came with a bottle of Hetman Synthetic Piston Lubricant No. 2, which I like even better, so I've switched to that. I tried the number 1 version for a while, but it dries up quicker, and I probably don't need such a thin oil. As Vigi Driver said, when you switch oils, they probably won't mix well, so it might be a good idea to wash it out properly first. The other thing that's made a difference, I think, is oiling my instruments before putting them away, instead of just when I take them out of the case to play. That seems to help a lot.

Gun cleaning kits have similar.slotted rods.

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.

Get a new band director, or maybe watch the video.

We had this problem with black inside the valves.

My new Bach was dirty with compound

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

@duolingobird9244

Rachel Y! You're probably okay by now, but if the spring falls out simply put it back in. If the valve doesn't click in the right place, try putting it in the wrong place and twisting it until it gets to the right place. It should fall into place and you can then screw the valve on. If it doesn't fall into place, you'll have to get it checkout out with an instrument repair shop.

WOK UUUUUUUUUU XD

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!
