I am having problems with the change valve between low F and Bb in my F/Bb/f Schmid triple horn. It has a long lever and operates two valves on each side of the lever simultaneously. When I release the lever from Bb to F (I have the valves standing in F) there is often a little catch, or sticking. I have had two different repair guys look at it, both valves have been taken apart, and the strings and bumpers replaced, but it seems to be getting worse. Extensive daily oiling inside and outside the valves seems to help a little, but then the sticking will start up again for no reason.
Has anyone run across this problem or does anyone have any suggestions? Dan _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
