Interesting tip! When I soldered my trumpet's main tuning slide to get it unstuck, when soldered back the slides were too narrow. So I used your tip, only flexing outward a bit. Three attempts, bam, perfect!
Great video! I know that you work of course on brass and woodwinds instruments, but can you work on strings and percussion as well? Keep the videos coming!!!
First, see if you can figure out where it is leaking. Is it a loose tuning slide tube or a loose solder joint? To find out, hold the bell so it is pointing up and pour some water in the bell and see where it leaks.
@@TheBrassandWoodwindShop that worked! I found a hairline crack and a pinhole leak. I covered it with Teflon tape for now but what would be a more permanent solution?
Thanks for making this video. I have a King my parents bought for me 50 years ago that has this problem.

I am glad it helped.

Yes I agree! This was an amazing video
Hi. Do you have a video on fixing water keys that are misaligned (not properly covering the hole?
No, I do not, but I will try to do one soon.
Thanks!
I have a trombone that is leaking from the tuning slide. I was wondering if you could give some advice on how to assess and fix that
