what exactly is the role of horn in pop song for
through the valves while working the levers up & down. Sometimes
the valves get gummy & sluggish from slide grease & dirt getting down into
the works. Varsol will take care of that without damaging anything inside
the horn.
It's a good idea to do the Varsol treatment outdoors

on the basis of extraneous factors such as what you're expecting from a
particular brand based on reputation, perceived prestige, whether the cool
