How to Oil Tuba Valves

I'm Eric Williams. I'm here to tell you about the Tuba. You get your valve oil at the Music store. Use official valve oil. Try not to take all three valves out at once. If you don't get them back in the pistons they are supposed to be in the instrument won't play. Take the valve and oil it. Put the valve back in. Turn the threads and get the valve back in place. Be careful not to get them crossthreaded. We have a three valve tuba. There are some tubas that have four valves.
