Stuck Rotors!

- Stuck Rotors on your French Horn, Tuba or Trombone can be really frustrating, but easy to fix. You’ll need some round nose pliers and a really good oil like Tech-Oil. Get yourself a bottle at www.techoillubricants.com.
Remember, if you have to put more than a hand shake worth of pressure to get the rotor to move, take it to a repair tech you trust and let them have a look. It’s possible if not even easy to bend the stem of a rotor.
Have a repair questions you’d like answered? Send me a message and I’ll answer it on the next Tech-Tip Tuesday.

😮great thanks
You're welcome.
The horn looked new, so the owner had not considered the need for regular inspection and servicing. Was sewing machine oil used in the rotors?
Tech-Oil on the rotor and a thread oil in development by Tech-Oil on the threads of rotor screws.
@@repairmasterclass I meant what may have gummed the rotors in the first place, or were they left to dry out?
@@pauljmeyer1 oh I see! Sorry for misunderstanding. Loads of things contribute to this. Being left dry can be a factor, but typically it’s being left wet with the wrong stuff, milk, pop, snot, bacteria and other yummies like that. Bad oil, as in old petroleum gone rancid, can sometimes be a factor as well. I’ve also seen the medications people are on contribute, so, any number of reasons.
