A hair dryer might do. Now and then I have used fabric to pull stuck slides. After I soak the slide from inside and out with penetrating oil I put a piece of fabric through the bend of the slide large enough to sort of fill up the bend. Then I try to tie a cord to the ends of the fabric such that I can stand on the end of the cord and pull the instrument straight up. So far I\'ve fixed quite a few and it has always worked. However if it does not work with reasonable force get the horn to a shop rather than risk serious damage. By the way that penetrating oil can use time to work. Even three days in serious cases. Obviously real penetrating oil can help on stuck mouthpieces as well. jim sadler Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:22:48 +0100 http://www.musicedmagic.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1657#josc648 I have tryed everything to get my flutes head joint to off, but nothing works. help please!
