What was that red stuff you put on the water keys and slides? It didn't look like usual valve oil?

That was a very cute dog at the end of this clip.

@isurftheturf Wow, I'm just yankin' yer chain. I've moved on from this topic. Go ahead... USE yer 1st and 3rd valve slides.

@DancingSpiderman Well I dont want to pick a fight (which is lamer than lame in a thread) but if you're serious about your intonation you'll want to start using your 1st and 3rd slides regularly. Even in the case where you can use your lips to compensate, that will mess up your lip-tuning in all the rest of your register and will have a worse sound output because your blowing that way ends up on a wrong pipe length. That means it will lack considerably in amplitude spectrum in a FFT analysis.

This is an OUTSTANDING post on cleaning a trumpet, including the detail strip of the piston. One thing that was not shown though (which I know they did) was a clean rinse with fresh clean water after the soap. I have been told more than once that a sonic chemical clean is one of the biggest wastes of money you can make and they are rarely ever necessary. Sometimes the sonic action can damage joints. Nothin' beats soap, water, rag and a brush. Thanks for the great post.

Your never supposed to use steaming hot water and detergent to wash a trumpet. At least its that way for my Bach, it strips the finish.

thats a little boiling and then lots of cold to make it warm... You are correct not boiling is how we want it...
