How to Oil or Grease Tuning Slides
How to Oil or Grease Tuning Slides
Use Ultra-Pure Regular Tuning Slide Lube to lubricate all the
tuning slides of brass instruments, including trumpet, trombone,
French horn, baritone, euphonium, and tuba. Use Ultra-Pure
Light Tuning Slide Lube to lubricate the 1st and
3rd valve slides of trumpets that have to move quickly
and easily to make adjustments to the pitch of some notes that are
a bit sharp.
First, wipe off the slide with a tissue to remove the old slide
lube and any grime. Put a dab of the tuning slide lube onto the
slide and rub it around with your fingers. After putting the slide
back into the instrument, wipe off any excess lube that got onto
the horn or your fingers using a tissue. You should lube your
tuning slides every week or two.
