Could be lots of things but it's not likely that a valve alignment would help. Take your horn to a repairman and let him have a look.Thomas Maurice Booth wrote:To further explain my problem, my 2nd and (sometimes 4th) get stuck up halfway up after the piston is released. There doesn't appear to be any marks on the side of the piston as if the valve was scrapping against the casing. I switch the angles I push the piston in and that doesn't seem to always work either. Hope this will help me figure out if a valve alignment is necessarr or what else needs to be done. Thanks again.

The valve does not stick all the time. I notice it most after several hours of practice or when I am first picking up the horn. I am preparing for a good number of auditions and do not want my horn to act up at an inopportune time. Thanks for everyone's input it has been very helpful.
