I normally use hetman 7P, but on a whim I recently decided to try the hetman 8 and was plesantly surprised. I apply the 7P with a little brush and it seems to distribute the lubricant more thoroughly and lasts longer. Nelson R. Lawson French Horn performer, clinician, Music education consultant

I sell, but have never used Hetman #8 slide grease so I can't comment on it.

A petroleum chemist needs to advise us all, or perhaps the solution is to have some sort of permanent coatings on slides and receivers so that slide grease would not be necessary. -----Original Message----- From: horn-bounces+treicher=cooley....@music.memphis.edu [mailto:horn-bounces+treicher=cooley....@music.memphis.edu] On Behalf Of mkolnsb...@cs.com Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 4:20 PM To: Horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Slide Grease Any suggestions for a long lasting slide grease.?
