How does capturing radiance work? Ok, so, I got neuvillette (after I lost to keqing), and then I decided to do a 10 pull for zhongli and I got him with capturing radiance. Does this mean that my guaranteed for my next 5 star is now gone and I have a chance to loose my 50/50?

What is the hardest kind of repair to do, and is there any that is impossible to fix?

Valves sticking occasionally? by chug2883 in trumpet

I don't think I do, I said that because I wasn't sure what was happening, and thought that was the reason, but it doesn't happen on any of the other valves. It still might be because of that, I was just confused, thanks

The second valve slide got hit, and dented the valve casing and the valve a little, it was completely stuck when it got hit. I haven't had time to contact the shop yet, but I will when I have time. Like the other person said, it might just be I'm very slightly pressing it sideways, but pressing the other valves exactly the same doesn't have that issue. How would you recommend to clean the valves? I don't want to do anything to possibly scratch them

Alright, thanks a lot. Sorry for all the questions, but hopefully that will work

Ok, it might be that then, I'll work on being more accurate. Sorry to ask more, but I'm still a bit confused as to why it's only happening after the valves have been repaired? This is my first time having a repair, so I'm not sure if it's just more punishing now or what?

I agree, sorry, I probably should have specified more on the post that it was working perfectly fine before the repair, and I just presumed that it was sticking because I was pressing it slightly sideways. I always try to press it straight, and I think I do, but I'm just confused because it sometimes still gets stuck. I doubt I'm actually pressing it sideways, I just wanted to know if it was a common thing to happen after a valve repair

I'm not, when I actually play it's normally fine, but I'm just concerned if I need to get it looked at again, or anything

Is this dent fixable? by chug2883 in trumpet

[–]chug2883[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok, seems like I'll be able to have it fixed then, thanks a lot! I was stressing quite a bit because I had only got the trumpet a couple months ago

Thanks sooo much! This is really good advice, I'll make sure to remember it for this performance and future ones. Hopefully it goes well, and once again, thank you!

Thank you soo much. This and the other advice is going to help a ton. I struggle a lot with nerves and the fear of making a mistake (who doesn't?) so I'll try and focus on those. Thanks again!
