venient to one, make
the effort to send your horn. USPS charges will probably add about $50
to the price, and is well worth it.

Well it's happened on my horn due to a minor solder break and it's happened
on other horns due to small leakages that pop up from time to time in certain
places.
Unless my ears were deceiving me? I heard from both cases a small sharp buzz.

Good advice:
"I think the most important thing to remember about valve tightness is that,
assuming the valves were tight when new, the primary cause of deterioration
is not mechanical but chemical, and is almost entirely preventable. "

Even better still, cover the tube with your finger
and suck air through the mouthpiece. If you can
create a vaccuum in your cheeks, fine
Even better is to pull out the slide, seal the tube with your finger,
and blow with the valve depressed. This will give you an idea of how bad
the leak is. In my opinion, a little leakage is not the end of the
world. The air will take the path of least resistance, that is the open
valve port.
Try this with one of the valves, without depressing the valve pull the
tuning slide out as far as it will go, then depress the valve. You should
hear a "pop" when the valve opens.
