gohorns Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I use Fat Cat slide grease on my horn and it works pretty good for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melligene Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Frank Ponzo had a post on RAMD a while back on what he uses. I tried it with excellent results. After cleaning the horn apply a small amount of 3in1 oil to the bottom quarter of the valves, re-insert and work the oil in. Remove the valves and add Al Cass in the usual manner. I've been using a Getzen Melli for the last 10 years and have never had valve response like I do now. Frank says he's been doing this for the last twenty years. You might try it. B) Just thought I'd re-post. Haven't added a drop of valve oil since January. Yes......before you ask , I'm still playing the same horn. Works unbelieveably well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlooooContra Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I've found that Al Cass is best for a quick oil, very responsive. Blue Juice is definitely what I bring on tour though. Takes forever to evaporate in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
