[Trombone-l] slide noise

[Daryl Burch]

That's why I asked. I use the cream with the silicon combo (Little bit 
bigger than a Blistex-size tub of white stuff and a little dropper 
bottle of the silicone additive -- 2 bottles). If you only use one but 
not the other you could run into some scrapey scrapies.

...but I was trying not to digress this into yet another "T-Botine vs. 
S-O-M" thread.

So now that we've let the slide goo out of the bag.....

Cheers!

Rob,

Which Super Slick are you talking about?  I've tried the oil but not the
cream.  Didn't much care for the oil, as it has such a short playing
lifetime for me (a few hours of playing).  If it's thin lubricant, maybe
that's more likely to cause the scrape/scratch sound ... in any case, I
wouldn't think that a new noise is good.

Kent Winking (Round Rock, TX) tells me to do a better job when I clean
my slide.  I use trombotine, which does leave some residue that won't
come out with a brush/snake.  Need to swab it out with some cheesecloth,
then I'm good to go.  Like you said, once a month is best.

I guess the other danger I've heard is that too dry a snake can damage
the inner surface of the outer slide tubes.  Maybe someone can clarify
what this will sound/act like (Eric Swanson et. al.)

I'll be interested to hear what others have to say about this.  Cheers
from Missouri,

Denton
