Anybody have any good alternatives to valve oil? The music store is kinda far away so for the past few months I've been taking my valves and have been putting water on them. I wouldn't normally do this but like back in February trumpet was getting fixed so i had to use one of the schools crappy horns and the valves needed oil badly so the assistant band director said go to the water fountain and use water on the valves. Is this safe? He's writes out our music and stuff but he can be wrong about things at times. Is water an okay substitute for valve oil until school starts or will it mess up my already not-so good trumpet?
