Here's a case - many years ago I was playing 2nd in a production of
Camelot - you know, the triple horn concerto with cast accompaniment -
the 1st horniste was an undergrad university student, a fine player.
Toward the end of act I her 2nd valve began to stick seriously and she
was distraught. So during intermission I whipped out my kit, bared her
valve, banged on it a bit, drenched it with oil and it worked fine for
the rest of the evening, with the bearing plate and cap left off. She
was most grateful. Well, maybe not most, but grateful none the less to
be able to finish the show. As a postscript - I heard later that her
horn prof criticised me for tinkering with her valve.

On the bright side, fixing horns does make you irresistibly attractive to women.
Or, Steve, maybe all that metal exposure just makes you BELIEVE you are
irresistibly attractive to women.
