Cleaning & Oiling Piston Valves for Baritone Horn Euphonium Tuba and Bottom-Sprung Trumpet Valves

A thorough discussion of cleaning a piston valve on a routine basis. Top and bottom chamfer, valve guide and channel, vent holes, etc. plus a discussion of noisy valves.

Thank you David. I often have stuck valves 1 and 2 on my compensating tuba. I never knew about using the cloth to remove deposits at the top and bottom of the pistons. This has been very helpful and I avoided the need to give the entire instrument a bath.
