Thanks Ralph, I'll give the grease a try and let you know how it works.

Military School of Music. My annual budget included a search for slide

The first two horns I played on were close to new single and double Alexanders. They both
had the bad habit of the third valve slide on the F side sliding out at in-opportune
times. Using standard slide grease they would slide out quicker and were practically
un-useable on a hot day. Anhydrou

Agree about the loose slide theory, based on two horns that I use, one
with loose slides and the other with tight slides. The former requires
more frequent applications of slide grease than the latter.
Presumably, the valve oil is able to seep over the sliding surface and
decompose the slide grea

One other point: avoid using grease containing anhydrous lanolin. It's
really rendered sheep fat (which has a biologic source) and supports
the growth of stuff inside your horn where it is warm and damp--
conditions which bacteria really like.

You may be using too much rotary oil. Is that because your valves are
