That's very interesting-- and on a horn over 100 years old!
Fascinating. Is there a make stamped on the horn anywhere?
I heard that Paxman had experimented with hollow rotors, and that Ifor
James used one (a five valve Bb) on may
All of this discussion on the sealing properties of oils and saliva misses
the number one reason to oil your horn internally and consistently...:
- to coat the bore of the horn so that the saliva/water can NOT be in
contact with the brass!! It is NOT simply to lubricate the bearing surfaces

It's possible that an additive may produce just the right gap-filling
effect, though worn rotors are really in need of rebuilding. Using
various lubricants of increased

greatly increased gap filling without resorting to high viscosity

I agree that regular oiling protect the surfaces. However, I know a
professional player who doesn't use any oil on the valves or shafts on his
Alex.
Another variable is how acid you are. Some people get green hands. Some
people's breath will corrode brass, it seems.

I recently purchased a brand new Alex 301. The manufacturer recommends not
oiling the valve surface unless you plan on not playing the horn for a
while. Oil the bearings yes but not the face of the rotor. Yikes
