I'm using a Yamaha double horn, and I reeeeeeealllyyyyy need to work on an audition for Monday. But my second valve is coming up slowly, which is a huge trouble 'cause all the pitches sound wrong!What do I do? I tried oiling the valve, that hasn't worked.
listed under are 3 ideas i comprehend of - a million) take it in and function it wiped sparkling. this could fee everywhere upwards from $40. I paid $seventy 5 final time. 2) sparkling it your self. Take out each and all of the slides, pour some drops of dishwashing liquid cleansing soap into each and each valve (separately). Get it each and each of ways with the aid of, such as you may whilst employing oil. Use heat water and rinse out each and all of the cleansing soap. enable it dry. it is fairly tedious, yet has worked for me the couple situations i've got completed it. 3) Like somebody else mentioned, use a thinner valve oil to semi-rinse out the gumminess. This has additionally worked nicely for me. save the lead pipe sparkling!
Try oiling the top and bottom bearing. One is located under the valve cap, at the top of that stem. You can see it turn when you move the valve. Put a few drops there and then move it. For the bottom bearing you need to turn the horn over and put some oil in the crack where the valve comes out of the valve case, under the string area. Again, oil it and let the oil get in while you move the valve.
Your second valve sounds like its gummed up. This can happen when the slide grease from your slides is washed into your valve. The greasy valve moves ok when there is lots of kerosene like oil to lubricate it, but when that oil dries out you end up with a slow moving valve. I had to remove my valves completely and clean them thoroughly to relieve my slow valves condition. Another less likely scenario is your valve spring is weak, or the valve string is not tight enough, but its much more likely that its due to insufficient oiling and/or a gummed up valve.
take it to a local repair shop, it probably just needs to be cleaned out.
