On my schmidt strad trumpet the bottom valve caps are stuck on and i can't get them off. Anyone have any tips on how to get them off, because I wanna douche my valves out. LOL
I repair trumpets. I use a soft headed non-marking small hammer, hard rubber or nylon head. Lightly tap the bottom caps all the way around to break them free. I also have a normal wrench but the teeth are rubberized to prevent scratching. Don't squeeze to hard. Tap then wrench and repeat as needed. Be gentle!!!!!!!
