Thanks for the video! Question~~is it important to oil your valves before you’ve been playing and condensation builds in the horn? And do you ever use a cloth to wipe the valves down?
Hello, im in grade 9 and in band we play every day. Its been two weeks and i cant reach the notes that I used to for long periods of time. Ive always had this problem, but its gotten worse after 2 weeks of playing a lot. Is this normal or is there a problem? Thank you
Hmmm, not sure, but my best guess is that you're using an oil with too high a viscosity. You could try Hetman #1 for a lower viscosity and see if it helps your case. That said, if it ain't broke, maybe don't fix it!
The pistons has a number imprinted on it, you should look if they are facing towards the mouthpiece or the bell and follow the sequence.

My valves work great without oil. When I oil them they get sluggish. This is the case on both my trumpets. Any explanation?
