Yamaha Trombone Slide Lubricant, 30ml

This is now the default slide lube we see most trombone players using. I had used various Slide-O-Mix for years, then this came along and I switched. I'd caution that this stuff is best not left in HOT CAR, because it can become watery and less effective if exposed to much heat.Clean your slide, then apply this lube in modest amounts. Move the slide up and down a few times and it will distribute readily over the whole inside slide tube. You do not need huge amounts. This lube will give you a good slide feel assuming your slide is aligned, chrome is entirely intact, and no dents are in any of the tubes.

This Yamaha Trombone Slide Lubricant gives me the best slide action I've ever had.In the early 70's, when I got my bass trombone, we'd use cold creme and a water mist bottle, later we got super-slick.I put away my horn for 50 years, but now I'm playing again, and a friend recommended this stuff. Just a few drops on each slide and it's like magic! After a while if it begins to grab, a little water mist will bring it back again. I usually put on a few drops before a concert.

Band teacher recommended it to me and it works phenomenal. It last a good long time and really makes it slide easy.

Semi-professional trombone player here, this stuff is goated. It’s ubiquitous at music universities, at least where I’m from, and it’ll work great on 99% of horns you use it on. Could you do better than this? Probably. Personally, I prefer to use slide cream right after I clean my horn and then switch to Yamaha oil until I clean it again, but if you only use this you’ll be in great shape. Make sure to shake it well every time you use it, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU FIRST USE IT. If you don’t mix it you will use up all the lubricant in your first two applications and have funny colored water for the rest of the bottle. Also avoid leaving it in a hot car, the emulsion will break if it gets hot and then it’s much worse at its job. If that happens, put it in the fridge, shake it a lot, and pray it works.With all that in mind, I will be buying this until they stop making it. 10/10

I'm pretty mind-blown by this product. I don't know how I am just learning about this slide oil after 20 years of playing. Other "normal" slide oil does not hold a candle to this. It worked surprisingly well on my usually scratchy slide!

This is the best slide oil we have found. And does not make a mess when applying.

Friend calls it yama-snot.It’s long lasting and you don’t need much on the slide to make it through rehearsal.

My old slide oil wasn't good enough and my band director recommended this one. It worked like a charm and my slide is so smooth right now. I also found that spraying just a little bit of water on the slide worked best. I also have another trombone that would barely move and no lube was working, until I bought this.
