Shintao Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I have never heard of Blue Juice. I use FAST for my horn and it works great. Where can this Blue Juice be obtained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hboyce Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Any normal music store I assume. They have it at both of the ones I go to. You can also order it online from someplace like wwbw.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camel lips Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I have never heard of Blue Juice. I use FAST for my horn and it works great. Where can this Blue Juice be obtained. Blue juice is a decent valve oil and should work well on most worn in valves or older valves. If you have new valves I would suggest breaking them in first with a synthetic oil.This seems to help. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hboyce Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Also, if you decide to use Blue Juice and you have been using a petroleum based oil previously make sure you clean off your valves very well. Blue Juice is chemically based and the mix of the two could ruin your valves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheezedogg 23 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 yea, I use Fast normally. But I came across 2 botttles of blue juice. I prefer "fast" more, but Blue Juice is functional all the same for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolVK Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 (edited) I have had good results with Blue Juice on all of my horns from my Kanstul Chicago MLP to my vintage (1968!) Schilke. It's important to remember that just about any premium oil will work, just be sure to clean your horn before "switching" brands. Mixing oils can cause the pistons to become sticky. As a side note, we at Kanstul have found certain oils to perform better on our horns than others. If you have any questions on this, contact me for more information.

hiccups05 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 i recommend Al Cass oil..IMHO it works the best and blue Juice doesnt compare...but again only my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Schmitt Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Blue juice seems to be the thing for the kanstul piccolo i use. My bach 37 likes something a lot thicker though. I guess the valves aren't quite as tight, but the bach oil that comes in the case with the nice shiney new 7C (why do these come with pro horns?) works about as well as anything. My bach C works well with al cass and other oils mostly consisting of kerosine. Moral of the story is it depends on the valves in your particular horn and the environment the horn's in. In my experience Bach valve oil won't fit between the pistons and the casings in a yamaha, while al cass or blue juice are a little to thin to do any good on a lot of well-worn bachs.
