Thank you do much. I gave my trumpet a bath 2 days ago and my 3rd valve slide has been bound up. I watched this before bed last night and got my valve slide corrected within minutes this morning. This was exactly what I needed.

I did not know how important an accurate flat surface was hard to find until looking for a trombone slide stone. I have a small square that might work for this type of repair just need to find it.

Thanks for the video, I never thought about using dent balls for checking parallelism, it looks easier than with calipers and there are less scratching risks ! Great idea. Also, for very snug third valves slides (mine, for example) I prefer using trombone slide o mix (or any trombone oil): it works fast, no dried grease/tarnish build-up... Definitely worth it I think

Thx for all of the helpful hints. I’m finding your videos extremely helpful since I am mostly self-taught. The brass videos in particular have been a great resource. Keep them coming!

do you have links on where to buy the buffing compound and the kerosene lamp wicks?

If that's lime on the tuning slide, then the best and easiest thing to use is pure white vinegar. It will bubble and smoke but it will harm nothing but the lime. What I'm not sure about, as if it would hurt the lacquer if it's splashes. But the metal will be safe, it won't harm copper as far as I know

How do you take out a slide that is stuck and doesn't come out of the instrument?

@trptguy23 2 жыл бұрын

Mine fell off of my trumpet stand and now they stick. The bottom most slide seems to stutter when placed in the horn. There is a brace in the middle and no visible dents. Not sure what to do with it

great work. What is the thing you used to clean/polish the slides?

@TheBrassandWoodwindShop Жыл бұрын

It is wicking material that is intended for kerosene lamps.

My horn has a dent in the first valve trigger - in the straight tubing - that locks the slide to the fixed piece of tubing. How do I fix that?

It is hard to say without seeing it. The crook may need to be unsoldered and the dents removed enough to get the slide unstuck. Then you can use a trombone slide mandrel or a tapered mandrel to tap out the dents.
