This is not exacly tuba related, but I have an old besson trumpet with a minor scratch on one of the valves. However, this scratch seems to make the valve stick and hang up. Do any of you guys with repair experience know of an easy way to smooth out the scratch without any permanent damage to the valve or the casing? I am trying to learn how to do minor repairs on my own, so I don't want to ship it off somewhere for repair. Thanks in advance.
