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
, but what the hell are so many doing with
their horns, that the slides get loose What kind of junk horns are
they playing ?

Why do slides get loose ? Because of too much polishing. Basta.
I have used one horn from 1989 to 1999 extensively, means about 300
services in my orchestra/year plus all
