How to choose
Use the product made for the specific part, since valve oil, slide grease and cork grease are not interchangeable.
Beginner
A student should start with a basic valve oil like Yamaha Synthetic Valve Oil or Bach Valve Oil and apply a few drops to each valve regularly. Wipe away excess oil so it does not drip inside the case.
Intermediate
A regular player should add Bach Tuning Slide Grease and Jupiter Cork Grease to their kit to cover every moving part, not just the valves. Reapply grease whenever a slide starts to feel stiff or a cork joint feels loose.
Expert
An experienced trombone player should compare Phat J's range, such as the Rugged Valve Oil or Trombone Slide Cream, against standard options to find the right feel for fast playing. Keep separate oils for different climates, since humidity and temperature change how quickly oil thins out.
