If it truly is stuck and will not come out by regular means, there is a way to get it out, but it takes some work. You unsolder the bit in the middle, solder a tuba mouthpiece where you unsoldered the bit and then pull it out with a mouthpiece puller. Then you need to put everything back together.
Mix 50%acetone and 50% automatic transmission fluid. Apply to the stuck joint and let it sit for a bit. Reapply. You must shake the fluid as they don't completely mix and seperate. It often will be enough with some gentle tapping with a plastic hammer on the reinforced ferrule portion of the stuck bit. Do it all the time.
You are so talented with this! I am learning so much by watching!
That's super. This damage is often caused by mistakes made by certain players. Thank you. This is a very good lesson for me.

Awesome to see the return of 'The Band Instrument Detective'! Another great video, Art.
Wonderful video. I found it very useful! Thank you!
Looks like those dents in the 2nd valve slide could be part of the problem. Thank you for the video and content. Take care.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Great technician keep well .
I love your work, I would like to know how to check the compression of the pistons, thanks
Check out the second valve slide too
very very good wit and revealing health
What are the sizes of ground casing mandrels that I need for Yamaha euphoniums and tubas? Feree's does not give this information.
Hello. I have a Yamaha sousaphone that one of the bits got stuck in the neck. I have almost no tools to use. You have any good tips that I could try.
