Yes, Japan is different, also China. But the methods are different too.
The illiteracy in these countries is very, very low. Music education is
very popular, but expensive (Japan). It seems, that it is part of the

I remember, that they mixed antifreeze with cheap wines to sweeten it.
It could work. But care about corrosion.
Be careful with the lips. If the temp is too low, the lips touching the
mpiece might be frozen on. Not a fun yet.
Anyway, keep the mpiece in your pocket when not playing. So it remains
I've heard of using a half and half mix of glycerine and water. Some
people have mixed some rubbing alcohol with valve oil or kerosene and
used it liberally. Be very careful to not ingest any of the antifreeze
solution! AND EMPTY THE WATER OUT OF EVERY SLIDE AND ORIFICE OFTEN!

Be careful. Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) is toxic -- might not
hurt your horn, but it won't do you any good -- severely torques your
kidneys, heart, & nervous system.
Proplyene glycol is nontoxic -- used to winterize potable water systems
safely in travel trailers, motor homes, etc.
I've heard rumors before of people putting antifreeze in their instruments
but I have no idea what that does. For the gig I'd pull out an older
'throw-around' horn if you have one :P

What solution is safe to use in brass instrument valves and trombone slides
when the temperature falls below freezing that will keep the valves working
freely? We have an outdoor gig this weekend. Please respond to my e-mail address,

Dear AC:
Yes, many of the Czech made instruments are of poor quality.
Poorly made valves, heavy bells, and too much focus on student quality horns
account for this.

Stay away from the cheap eBay horns- even with some of the advice given on
the horn line( by mostly amateurs) -those instruments remain poorly made and
have been aptly dubbed "I S O's"

But this is not the only customer. I receive orders without shipment

Shucks, even a rank amateur wouldn't try it with a Chinese knock-off.
A Czech knock-off might be something else again, eh?
Not only that, have you ever noticed that those eBay full-double Chinese
knock-offs are all screw-bell Geyer-wrap horns, with the offset F-Bb change
The picture in the eBay add is of a Amati or Amati knock-off labeled E.M.

worth having is a bad joke.
