Trumpet

To remove stuck valves from a trumpet, first ensure the instrument is clean and free of moisture. Gently wiggle the valve while pulling it upward; avoid using excessive force to prevent damage. If the valve remains stuck, applying a small amount of valve oil or a lubricant specifically designed for brass instruments can help. Let it sit for a moment, then try again, making sure to keep the trumpet in an upright position to minimize any potential mess.

Continental cadet trumpets with serial numbers typically fall within specific manufacturing ranges that can help date them. However, without access to a specific database or records from the manufacturer, it's challenging to provide an exact manufacturing date for a trumpet with serial number 786. Generally, many brass instruments from the mid to late 20th century had serial numbers in that range. For precise dating, you may want to consult a music expert or the manufacturer directly if possible.

Free blowing means that the trumpet doesn't feel stuffy when you play it. I'm not really sure how to explain it, other than comparing this: imagine blowing air through a soda straw, then blowing air through a water hose. The water hose is bigger and will allow you to blow larger amounts of air through it.
