Cryo treatment of NEW instruments is supposed to have some positive effect,
this would depend on how much "stress" is "built in" to the horn. Older
instruments that are "broken in" are not supposed to benefit much if at all.

Valve alignments carefully and properly done can provide startling improvement
in a horn---again, this is rather dependent on the horn being "out" before it's worked.

f.w.i.w. I'm skeptical about the freeze-treatment also, but since you sounded like you were serious about your question, I figgered you prolly deserved a reasonably serious answer
