My 3rd bflat slide is stuck and there is so much spit in it that I’m playing exclusively on f side when I need to use third valve. I purchased this horn used and it’s the only stuck slide, I believe it’s bent. Typically I’d take it into the shop but it’s tech week for a pit orchestra I’m playing in. Is there any way I can get the spit out without removing the slide?

Yes I’m going to get the slide fixed when the musical is done, no I cannot hammer it out, I’ve tried but the issue is that it’s bent. I’ve been playing horn for 15 years and have never had this issue!
