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

[Jason Smith]

FWIW Slide o mix makes a oil specifically for rotor valves.  I don't know how it reacts with the different valves, I have never had trouble with mine.  Our repair shop has started using a synthetic oil on rotor valves but I do not know the brand.  I suppose individual climate would make a difference.
