1/ Remove the main tuning slide.
2/ Insert the largest size marble - in the LARGE SIDE OUTSIDE SLIDE TUBE on the instrument - that will drop in without getting hung up.
3/ Inside the instrument, rotate the marble around to the obstruction (you dumb-ass) and move the instrument back and forth - bouncing the marble against the obstruction over and over (hopefully not too many tries will be required) until it is freed.
