    Yamaha YAC1021P Trombone Slide Oil

    • Features:Long-lasting, state-of-the-art slide lubricantYamaha trombone slide oil features a new formula specially designed to offer long-lasting performance and unmatched slide action
    • It gives my horn a slippery smooth action without the hassle of creams and spray bottles.
    • The stuff seems a bit "creamier" than other oils and liquid creams, (which is probably why it seems to last longer & have smoother action) but I never need to use a bone bottle - even after the stuff has been on for several days - it just stays moist & slick
    • Once it is on the slide, you will have the fastest action ever.
    • But this Yamaha stuff is kind of gloppy and stringy and really clings to the slide tubes in a way that creates a smoother action that lasts better.
    • I have an older Conn, and I was thinking about replacing it, because the action on the slide was not great.
    • It's a good idea before you use it, to use a cleaning rod wrapped in a strip of cheeze cloth or T-shirt - to get what you formerly used out of the outer slides, to get the best slide action
    • With Yamaha slide oil, you will experience worry free slide action and long lasting performance.
    • Works better than Slide-o-Mix and also doesn't get as liquidy under hot conditions
    • You have to lube the slide more frequently than with the other major lubricants on the market (i.e., Trombotine, Slide-O-Mix, Super Slick, Ultra-Pure, Bach, Getzen & Shilkie slide cream).
