[Trombone-l] pBone Slide Lube

[Roger Carmichael]

The polishing of the brass parts seems  to have helped.  The raspiness is in the upper part of the inner stockings.  I smeared some old slide cream on and sprayed it with Hetman slide lube.  We will see how it plays when my mouthpiece arrives.  The one which comes with the pBone is a really, really shallow cup.

>I have a tube of Semi-Chrome Polish which is much less abrasive than Brasso.  I've used it to smooth up the valves in my Tuba a couple times.  I may try that first.

That’s still abrasive, if less violently so than brasso.

I strongly suggest you apply a liquid to keep the slide air-tight and live with the slight raspiness.
