I clicked because it's trombones. My problem though is that the valve for the F-attachment is broken off and I need to resolder it. Does anyone have a nice tutorial outlying the pitfalls associated with soldering that (my approach would be to heat the lever part in the oven, heat the installation site with a blowtorch and add solder and put the preheated part on it, hoping it's no cold solder joint)

Depending on how much you value the instrument my first port of call would be to go to a music store and get a quote, and if you feel that the quote is high relative to the value of the instrument then you can go the DIY route. What you want is called brazing, not soldering, and it will cause the silvering of the parts to be burned off so you'll have to re-silver it (assuming a silver plated trombone).
