[Trombone-l] tuning slide too slick was Re: Lip care

[Jeff Albert]

Hetmann makes this stuff called Ultra Slide Grease.  It is their lube  
#9.  It is VERY thick, and can be a bit messy to apply, but it lasts  
a long time, and only lets the slide move when you want it to.  It  
also makes short smooth moves of the slide easy, helping to avoid  
that poorly lubed "I only wanted to move a 1/4 in but it bumped out 2  
inches" scene.
