[Trombone-l] Lubricant details

[Price Taylor]

Roger, that might be your slide, is your slide red brass?  That's the 90%
copper/10% zinc.

I tried it for awhile and since I have old trombones (59 Conn 88H, 65 King
3B) it never worked as well as superslick with the plus oil, or trombone
with the plus oil.

The reality is that I don't know if anyone knows whats in the stuff they put
on slides!

And...it's whatever works, right?
