At a clinic I attended many moons ago, Clark Terry suggested putting
a thin coat of cork grease on the springs. I've done this for years
and it really does help. You need to redo this about every other
month. A couple of my euph playing friends like the results they
have gotten from the octagonal springs you can get from Ferree's.
I don't think these are available in a size large enough for most
tuba valves, though.
