My MW2155 collects water in the 3rd valve slide and it's a pain to empty in a performance. A repair man at a local music store here showed me these things (can't remember what they are called) that can be put on the slide. It has a little button sticking out. Tilt the horn and press the button and and the valve is clear with no slide pulling or anything. You're probably looking at a couple of hundred $'s for the labor of having it installed. I'm not suggesting it, because I don't have one yet. Just throwing you an option out there. If you decide to look into it, I'm sure Matt Walters with Dillon Music ( http://www.dillonmusic.com ) can help you out.
