I can't stress enough how wrong your technician was who said to not put oil
in the slides! The oil inserted internally isn't just done for
lubrication's sake - it's also done to coat the bore of the horn so that the
moisture doesn't come in contact with the brass. Also, remember that a

Which slide greases do you like (break-down w/ valve oil)?

so much for each of us to write. I feel sorry for
those starting up with this topic and getting so much

Hello Ken, I cannot other than to support your words
strongly. It is absurd very often, what
so-so-self-taught-technicians give as advice. And people
believe that.
But the worst are not these bad repairmen or good repairmen
like you, Ken. The worst are the instrument users, who do
not care for
Thanks, Carlisle, for your comments. For the first 10 months I owned my
horn, that is EXACTLY how I oiled it. It still got gummy between cleanings.
May be it's something about the Holton? I dunno. Or maybe pulling valve
slides out shoving them back in over over again actually pushes

The technique of emptying water out of the Holton without removing any
slides is curious indeed. It requires some real acrobatics, and it seems
like I'm always knocking the horn into a stand or grazing the top of one of
my students' heads or something, so I prefer to yank out the slide branches
