I designed this little device to loosen a slide on my trumpet that had been so tight for the last ten years or so that you couldn't move it. I made it for my Yamaha trumpet and it actually worked.
The idea is to put it in the crook of the slide and very gently tap it with a hammer until it comes loose. It worked really well for me, but I recommend paying close attention and protecting the trumpet from the hammer with a cloth or something similar. During the procedure i also secured the device with my thumb. I also designed a second version with a little protection plate, but i am not sure, if that helps. I recommend to only carry out this procedure on an old or inexpensive trumpet and would rather have a professional do it.
