Oiling Trumpet Valves 

Just a little comment before you oil this way. Make sure your bottom valve caps are clean and don't have any dirt sitting in there. I tried this technique without checking the caps first, and I actually ended up with sticky valves, because the oil was mixing with dirt on the way in. If your caps are clean, this works great.

A pocket trumpet for motorcycle travel... nice to see someone who as his priority in order :-)

Thanks for the information. I'm a long-time trombone teacher and the pastor of my church gave me a trumpet a few days ago. I'm starting to learn to play and your videos are a big help!

Fantastic video. I love your "down home" way of explaining things. Also, I suppose you can find your trumpet penetrating oil next to the car blinker fluid.

Does it matter if I used the regular oil and switch to synthetic

Love your vids! Any of these considered non-toxic? I unfortunately used what came with a cheap trumpet, and could NOT get the petroleum based smell off my hands. Washed several times before trying to eat a sandwich after applying the oil. I understand petroleum based to be toxic.

I use blue juice

What should I do with my trumpet when I finish practicing? Do I need to take it apart and dry it each time?

Thanks for this tutorial Sir, very helpful. A question: the oil from the previous oiling of the valves where has that gone? Out of the spitvalve?

why don't you use the oil you get with the trumpet that's what I do?

Isn't penetrating oil for parts that are rusted?

Cheap oils vs synthetic oils? Aren't they all petroleum distillates?
