I play a BBb Bass 700 Series, and was having a number of problems with
the valves. I took the instrument to the local dealer and he cleaned
them out, stated they were filthy. This bythe way, was on a new
instrument, less than six mos old. I was also told that to keep them in
good working condition, I had to keep them clean, and when I did apply
oil, to clean the valves with warm soapy water first, and them a drop or
two of oil. This seems to have helped immensely
