Perhaps before you go thru the valve disassembly & cleaning process, you could demonstrate how to do a basic 'valve rinse' using lightweight valve oil or UltraPure unscented Lamp Oil as a way to flush-out sluggish valves. - It sure is alot safer for a non-technician horn player to do a valve rinse than trying a full cleaning - especially if the only problem is sluggish valve action due to old oil/grease build-up. - For the full cleaning, I suggest to only work on 1 valve at a time, that way parts don't get swapped, and there are intact valves to show how they are supposed to be re-assembled...
