This week in working on a trumpet that a child was “fixing” before he gave up and closed the case for good. That was 5 years ago. Now someone else needs the trumpet and guess what: it doesn’t work! The kid used the wrong kind of oil on the valves. Who wants to guess what kind? It’s be a gross, sticky, pungent, buggy, science experiment, but it’s all done and cleaned up now.

I didn’t take a picture because it went right in the trash, but what came out of this Sousa was a (wet) Hot Hands packet 😂🤢 they complained of stuffiness and difficulty playing loud, and I just knew there was something in it.
Sousaphones are so big that it is really easy to get something lodged in there. In a post from about 10 years ago I made a list of all the things that floated out of one sousa. It was a long list.

I know you think vintage saxes are super cool—and they are!—but take into consideration when purchasing an old instrument in need of refurbishing that instrument makers didn’t used to make the rods out of stainless steel, just steel. Definitely still buy that old horn! (I would never tell you not to buy another instrument) But remember that it will need extra care and maintenance.

Pictured are two steel rods, one before cleanup/prep and one after.

Pro tip: if your main tubing slide is stuck, don’t just hammer the brace, it won’t work.

Update: just to clarify, don’t hit the crook with a hammer either 😂
