As I prefaced, my comments would be controversial. What others have posted is true. My case occurred +40 years ago, when the horn was brand new and had near zero lapping at the factory. Back then, the general attitude was overly tight fittings that would "break-in" over time with regular playing: so very untrue. These days, different attitudes and CNC machining, so new horns should never have the same problems: and, reputable brands come now with factory warranties, so buyers should never need to resort to the risky steps I undertook. Repeat: [1] the valves and bore must be "true"; [2] the best approach is to find a competent, skilled, trumpet repairer.
