[Trombone-l] Slide lock grease

[JENKINS,JOHN J]

I use anhydrous lanolin or the pink Selmer tuning slide grease 
goo. They both work great. And yes, you're doing good by cleaning 
the threads (with an old toothbrush or something similar), because 
the older lubricant application on the threads most likely 
collected months and months of dust and dirt particles, which 
would contribute to the scratchiness.
