Stuck brass instrument valves

My euphonium’s 3rd valve likes to stick. I’ve oiled it 3 times, and thoroughly cleaned the valve and casing. The teacher won’t be getting more valve oil until Wednesday (a junior high kid stole mine). Is there anything else I can do?

Answer #1

I play the Euphonium as well :) anyway, I had that problem before too, take out the valve, check and see if the white piece (kinda like a line) is in the right slot, it could be backwards. This following monday if you haven’t fixed it send me an e-mail and I will send pictures to you explaining what to do and all that.

Answer #2

Don’t keep oiling it because thats what usually fixes it. It might have something to do with the plating on the metal being worn off. This is very serious problem and a very expensive one at that. Take it in.
