I have had valve jobs done on two horns, a York B flat and Holton double bell euphonium. After 50 years of use, the valves were leaking and the horns were playing very flat. After the valve job, the pitch went up, the valves did not stick and I had 50+ year horns that were like new. Both these horns were worth it but I don't know if it would be worth it for something like an old student horn.

BTW - Anderson did the work and it was great!
