Thank you for the helpful video! I am wondering how to clean the piccolo trumpet (which has 4 rotary valves)? Would it be to put pressurized water through the bell? Thanks for your response in advance!
This is great, thank you! Do you ever need to put oil in (or down) the 1st, 2nd, 3rd slides to oil the rotar valves from "the side"? I've heard of people doing this, not sure if it's good though.
@LoderoYT watch this guy's video on how to take it apart properly and remounting the valves. I had the same problem with my horn and it helped me a lot ruclips.net/video/2oBsayh3E6Y/видео.html. Hope it will help you too.
been looking everywhere but haven’t found any info, maybe y’all can help me. how would I unstick stuck keys on a rotary trumpet?? i’ve oiled it, tried manually twisting the rotors with pliers but nothing has worked
Hello, JM Bearing & Linkage Oil 13,5 - Synthetic, JM Rotor Oil Nr. 11 and JM Slide Gel 7 - Synthetic! You find it in our Onlineshop shop.schagerl.com/index.php?content=products&warengrupp=161&order=bestand_absteigend&searchKategorie=Hersteller_JM%20Meinlschmidt
Yes, assuming they use the save valve configuration, which just about all instruments aside from a few antiques do. There should be no problems when switching between piston/rotary valves in terms of fingerings.Hope that helps ;)
I would lanolin on my tuba's slides. It's a little thicker than a lot of slide greases, but that helps prevent unwanted drift. Really inexpensive, too. My trombone player buddy liked lemon pledge to keep his slide slick.
Thanks! I just bought my first rotary valve trumpet, and I am just learning the tricks and tips!
Thank you, Sir, for the instruction. Especially the part about running water backwards through the lead pipe while not turning the pistons.
Super! Danke! ☺️
Thanks! I just got my Ganschhorn and was wondering about these things! Very helpful!

Please make a video How to cleaning rotary on rotary trumpet ? Thanks
Very nice!!!!
How do you deal with a slightly slower valve? Even after daily oil it is slow... What method should I use to clean it? Could you make a video on it?
Michael Kirby - Brass Thanks! I'll try that.

I know this is a bit of an old comment but take it to a shop. Never use pliers on an instrument.
I can't seem to find a source for all of these oils and lubricants. Can someone suggest alternatives?

What do you guys thing about "run water through the leadpipe and the valves" ?
It’s fine, just don’t put your horn away with any water in it.
Let's say you got a b flat piston valve and a b flat rotary valve... Would they have the same fingerings?
Yes, assuming they use the save valve configuration, which just about all instruments aside from a few antiques do. There should be no problems when switching between piston/rotary valves in terms of fingerings.Hope that helps ;)
Samuel Plays Brass thanks!
when it comes to slides like 1 and 3 shown here that are supposed to move quickly I use standard trombone slide oil
