[Trombone-l] Slide-o-Mix now Reka

[Wayne Dyess]

I have an 88H with plating issues, so I wouldn't call it a good  
slide.  I was having a particularly bad time with it at one of our  
symphony rehearsals a while back, and the bass bone player let me  
apply some of his Reka.  It worked wonders... and that after I had  
tried Trombotine (for a year or more), Slide-o-Mix (longer than  
that)... and had been fighting that dang slide for way too long.

Reka worked wonders on that slide, and lasted for days.

I have yet to buy my own bottle, however.

Paint me lazy.
