Hello Paul, all these recommended methods work more or less. But that�s not the problem.
The problem is the carelessness of the end user of the instruments, so to speak the PLAYER. If they insert just a few droppings of oil carefully, there will be no wash down of slide grease. If they would use rotor & spindle oil carefully & inside clean the instrument from time to time & if they would also care not to play with their mouth still full of meals or candies, we had not to discuss such simple things. I think, we - we all, all the society - have reached a point, where common understandings of the things & the mechanic are down , completely down. It seems, that a majority has never learned or forgotten already, that we have got a brain to use. We ask & discuss. If there is another opinion, which does not please us (e.g. asking for self discipline), we oppose. If we all would use our brain, we would not commit all these silly actions in all fields of life. We exaggerate, we condemn, instead forgiving or understanding or action carefully. Are we so spoiled by all these super idiotic commercials & their ballyhoo ??? Like: put the nail between thumb & forefinger of the left hand, haha, point the nails point against the wall,- got it ? -, get the hammer into your right hand, - you too madam-, holding it at the grip firmly, wow, hammer against the head of the nail until the nail sticks in the wall, splash , applaus..... Are we that like ? Really ? ..... The industry seems to think so .... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 3:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Hornlist] oil addict In a message dated 10/12/04 2:59:28 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > Would it be better to oil through a male tube? > Using this manner of oiling, it is possible to get extraneous slide grease or other matter into the valves from the crook attached to the slide tube-especially if there is any corrosion in the slide crook. I have found for my own use, and I always recommend to my clients that they find an eyedropper bottle to use. First remove the slide and with a few drops of oil in the dropper, place it all of the way into the outer slide tube, then squirt the oil directly onto the rotor. This method seems to avoid the problems you are discussing.
