ok lots of error

1.you dont need to oil it every day, just every week or so

2.thats wasting your valve oil

thumbs up if you agree that this is a fail and you hate it

[MrDr143]

never oil it by pulling it out half way take it all the way out

...and then her mom came over, put her drooling bib back on, gave her a pat on the head, and thanked the "make a wish" foundation for letting her handicapped daughter be a youtube star like she always wanted. That's so nice.

The moral of the story: don't take brass maintenance tips from a retard.

I don't understand how this woman got a job... she shouldn't have gone to a Tech school for a band instrument repair ASSOCIATE'S degree, which is even lower than a bachelor's! Does she have a life? You only need to oil the valves AT MOST once a week!

What are you talking about?

Oiling your valves everytime you play?

Wasting your precious money!

[BillyOwnsTrevor]

you should oil your trumpet with valve oil, not wd40... then i personally only oil my valves when one starts to slow down.

im seriously gonna make a youtube channel that is solely based on corrrecting people from expert village.. their paintball advice is crap, this is also crap, im afraid of what else is crap.

[Bananalisk]

@simsim646 actually, you do need to oil it every day because residue will build up and a moldish looking substance will build up, kind of like plaque on your teeth.

ok...well this is a crappy tutorial...ill prolly make some on the whole trumpet process of cleaning...i use getzen valve oil for my oil.....and for one thing NEVER use WD-40 on a trumpet

[Jordan4139]

every time u play? sorry lady that will ruin your valve after a long period of time. Thats wasting perfectly good oil. i play every day for my 8th grade band, and i probably oil my trumpet maybe 10 times out of the whole school year. You really don't need that much.

[SkaPow138]

why cant they just make one or two videos for this whole process?

They make finding the right order such a pain in the ass.
