I play a Yamaha 642 euphonium that is only a few years old. Recently, I went away on vacation for a week and couldn't play the horn. When I came back to it, my first valve was sticking like mad. I would push it down and it woundn't come back up at all. I gave the horn a bath and oiled the valve which seemed to help a little bit, but it still isn't very good. Any suggestions as to how to improve it?
