Hi there -- I was recently given a BBb tuba (3 valves) that soungs great but has a major problem -- the 1st and 2nd valves stick very badly (the second occasionally comes up, the first never does without 'help'). I have oiled them properly but they are very tight (hard to put in / get out) and am looking for a source on how I can adjust or fix them ? I live in the country (no cities nearby) and don't have access to a repair shop.

Any suggestions appreciated!

thanks,
Dave
