[Trombone-l] Slide-O-Mix On An F Rotor

[Douglas Ward]

SOM is too thick. I'd use valve oil before SOM--even off-the shelf  
oil. I'm not sure how often traditional rotors need oil, but axial- 
flow valves take oil about once a month. Sometimes you can drip some  
oil down the gooseneck to save some time.
