Hi everyone.
I've been playing for about three years and I've recently acquired a YBB-641 (it belongs to my school and I took it home for the summer). I've never played on a rotary valve tuba before, so I don't know much about them. and...I am currently without a private teacher and there are no brass players on the staff of my high school's music department, so... can anyone tell me anything about rotary valves vs. piston valves, and, more importantly, how I would go about oiling the rotary valves? (what oil should I use as well).
Thanks very much,

Ted
