If your Trombone rotary valve is a bit noisy, this video might be the perfect solution! I give all credit to my Trombone teacher Mr. Seger for showing me how to do this. Hope this tutorial helps!
Worked like a charm! Thanks for the tip. I also just found that my 42BO (going on 20 yrs old) was clicking when it returned to the bumper. The rubber had been smashed down from all the use, and had become hard. The top bumper was a lot fresher, so I just switched them and am now hearing less bumping. Will probably replace them with fresh rubber sometime soon, but it was another good quick fix.
Nice tip! I'm fortunate to have the nylon ball and socket linkage on my 90's model Bach 42 with the Thayer valve, but I'm frequently annoyed by other players with noisy linkages.
Hey, I like your fix, but just a quick FYI....hetman and other brands of instrument lubricants often offer a specific type of oil called "ball joint" or "linkage" oil made for this job. This grease is a little less thick than tuning slide grease, allowing for faster action and often comes with a special applicator tip to get lube the tight spots on the linkage without unscrewing any part of the linkage.
Hello my friend, that you are using the rotor screws, is a special paste or some kind of fat?, Explain please ...... sorry I speak Spanish and translated into English ..... thanks
