Lubricating an F Attachment Trombone Rotor Valve

[@randyotte9599]

Thanks. Needed to get my Conn 88h rotor bsck in shape and this was what I needed--never occurred to me to put some down the tube itself.

Didn’t ask for a life story, buddy

Thanks! I used this on my bass trombone's Gb attachment and it helped.

[@Hammy27Sammy]

Thanks it completely helped me

We used key oil

The valve was becoming stuck, when pressed all the way down

[@cranberrypoger5632]

Just got my first f trigger trombone. When you say valve oil is there a specific kind for trombone or would it be the same stuff you'd use on trumpet?

[@tamasfoldesi2358]

Same, if you're referring to a rotary valve trumpet. Piston valve instruments need thinner oil though, so don't put piston oil on the trombone.

[@tamasfoldesi2358]

Correction, what I've said applies to the spindles, but if you want to oil the face of the valve, use a lighter oil, like a piston oil, or just nothing at all. It's not absolutely necessary.

[@ChaplainAcosta]

Why do you use different oils? I’m learning to play the trombone (am a trumpet player). Are the bearings completely isolated from the valve?

[@webduelist]

No, but the bearing oil lasts longer and the valve oil keeps it from dragging the sides
