I have an old Conn 6D F/Bb French horn in need of a bit of soldering work. Two of the tuning slides have one of the solder joints, which connect the two pieces of tubing to the "U" bend at the end of the slide, broken off.
What kind of flux or solder wire or paste do you recommend for work like this? Is it soft solder or silver solder? If the latter is the case, I guess I can kiss the lacquer at the joint goodbye. I suppose some kind of paste would be the easiest since I can spread the right amount inside the tube (as the joint is on the inside, not the outside of the tube). Or what's the correct way to do it?
