I have a Besson 983 Eb tuba. Same problem with the valves, well No.s 1 & 2. Even after having the valves (all of them) hand lapped, TWICE!

THis is one of those things that you just have to work your way through. Eventually your valves will work in just right. You just have to have some patience.

Regularly clean and oil them especially on a new horn.
