How To Fix a Stuck 2nd Valve: Pushed In Slide 

LIFE SAVER!!! I was going to a football game because I’m in band and we were walking out and the middle valve got stuck! I was like omg I looked up countless videos to fix it then I came across this video, THANK GOD.

You sir just saved the Veterans Day Parade tomorrow. Had one Trumpet 1 not able to go due to Cross Country and my other Trumpet 1 student is very sick and probably won't make it tomorrow. Band Director here needs to step in as trumpet 1 solo with his old beginner trumpet from when he was 9 Cleaned it thoroughly, greased it, oiled it to find the 2nd valve was stuck in the down position. Within seconds, got it to work normally following your directions. Stepping up to show the MSHS band leadership. Wish me luck....lol...and thanks!

Thank you. I have been having trouble with my 2nd valve for several months and getting frustrated. Have tried what you said to do and it is better. My trumpet is a King Liberty that is about 55-56 yrs. old. It was made before White sold the company. It has always been easy to play until I began to have 2nd valve problems.

hi, i don t subscribe to channels but I must tell you that I am forever great full for you being so sharing of the amazing information you are making videos of , I'm not a pro tech but i have found myself wanting to to do repair work for the kids in our school band that really can"t afford it. I've kinda started watching you and have taken your advice on getting started ,being a tinker at heart I am enjoying this adventure so far . Thank you , one of your students Jim Krynak.

This task is tedious but it is worth learning how to, the best thing to do is not to lend your trumpet to anybody.

Every video has something really fascinating in it! Even the "simplest" repair.

This really helped me fix my 2nd valve slide thanks for this video

You have just saved me so much time and money. Thank you!

You just saved the day for me

Thank you, Sir. This is a "valve" saver

Very helpful, very clear!

Thank you very much for this video .

Thank you it works

Thank you soooo much !!!

Awesome 🤝🏼❤

I am using Binak Pro oil that only needs a couple of spots and lasts a couple of months. What do you think of it? The postage to the UK from the USA costs as much as the oil plus the instrument has to be clean before using it because it doesn't mix with other oils.

Yup happened to mine

Dear Sir, what does it mean (stop nut in the first slide valve) or (non stop nut in the first slide valve)? Thank you very much for your time.

What if all the buttons are stuck in the up position and all of the sliding thingies are stuck and you haven’t cleaned or played it in 5 years?

Sometimes the actual part connected to the bell is part of the problem

My 2nd valve doesn't want to go in

I have found that about 7/10 of stuck valves are from students who don't practice and haven't learned how to properly clean their instrument. You would be surprised how many kids have never been taught how their instrument works or how to clean and maintain it. If they are willing to sit still for a quick cleaning lesson I will most times wave the fee. I'd rather lose a few bucks then have them bringing it back every month or so. I hate cleaning yucky student trumpets. Thank God for sterilizer and rubber gloves.

I forgot to close my trumpet case and my trumpet fell out and my 3rd valve got STUCK
