    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.

    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!

  • @Metal-Possum
    @Metal-Possum5 жыл бұрын

    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.

    6 possible combinations ? (aside from numbers on the valves) I played 123 then i shifted 23 132 then i shifted back to 123 and traded 1 and 2 213 231 whichever sounded best was correct UNLESS the valve guide is off on any of them, then you get a fuzzy sound. That's why I found this video, to remember how to do this.

  • @Metal-Possum
    @Metal-Possum5 жыл бұрын

    Just observe the holes and where they go, and put them into the right valve casing accordingly. I'm guessing because they never taught you this in high school, you never had the mental capacity to figure it out for yourself? On many instruments, the valves are even numbered.

    Sorry to sound awfully rude, but you sound particularly thick. The main tuning slide on any brass instrument is the one that's on the main length of tubing, and not on one of the extensions of tubing attached to the valve(s).

  • @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.

    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.
