The big problem with lanolin used as tuning slides is that the lanolin can get washed into the valves. The valves work fine until the valve oil evaporates or gets blown through, and a film of lanolin is left on the surface of the rotor. Bonus question. What does Holton use for slide grease when the horns are assembled at the factory?
