Still the best slide lube out there
I've had the same tube of trombotine since 1995 when I switched from slide oil! Still the best slide lube out there! You only need a small amount and some water in a small spray bottle.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate slide cream
    Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I'm a professional brass player (trumpet/flugelhorn), and I started teaching myself trombone. Trombotine was recommended to me by a fellow trombone player. He is a professional, and has been playing for many years, and swears by it. After using it, it's not difficult to see why.

    Trombotine is basically a slide cream, but highly effective (more so than other brands, one would argue). A SMALL amount should be applied to/smoothed over your slide. Add a spritz of water from your water bottle, and voila! Your slide will move effortlessly. All you will then need is your water bottle handy when your slide becomes sluggish. Trombotine works in tandem with the water, and is only applied sparingly and sporadically when needed (which is not very often if applied correctly and watered regularly).

    This single tube should last you a very long time. My friend said he has owned his current Trombotine tube for over a year. Highly recommended product for either the beginning player, or the seasoned professional.

    I tried this slide cream after a few of the better players in my swing band recommended it over the creams in a jar, and I can’t argue with the results. It definitely reduces the friction I was feeling.

    Holy cow this stuff is incredible. With daily play I go through 1 tube of this every year or so (2 even). It's fairly clean (as lubricant goes) and doesn't leave any lasting damage on the slide. After 20 years of playing trombone I will NEVER use anything other than trombontine

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Trombone Lubricant
    Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2017
    Style: TrombotineVerified Purchase
    Trombotine is a different type of slide lube. Instead of being a oil that you squirt on the slide it is just a creme. Firstly you take the creme and put a pea sized ball on the end of the inner slide. You then have the rub the creme on the slide. You need to rub the slide fast enough till you can feal the heat of the metal from the friction. This heat cases the creme to become a liquid. One thing not included with the creme is a spray bottle. You need to spray water on the slide to activate the lubricant. My slide with regular slide oil made a harsh noise but with this lubricant the slide moves more freely on its own and really helped my playing. In a band that I play at most of the trombone plays use Trombotine. I would recommend this product. The only reason that I took of one star is because it doesn't include any instructions.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Trombotine slide lubricant
    Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2012
    Style: TrombotineVerified Purchase
    I first learned of Trombotine from a US Navy Band instrument repairman in about 1979 when I was on active duty at the US Naval Academy band. I had just bought a new Bach 50 B3 bass trombone, and he suggested that I try it...he was impressed with the way it made a slide...well...SLIDE! Prior to using Trombotine I had used Conn SuperSlick for a number of years. Trombotine uses a similar principle...clean the inner and outer slides properly first, then put a small amount of it on the slide stockings (extra emphasis on the words "small amount" should be noted...it goes a long way), then after it's thoroughly rubbed on the stockings and up and down the rest of the slide, spray water on it, and play. One application typically lasted me for a full 4-hour 18-piece big-band dance gig, and definitely long enough for a 2-hour-plus rehearsal. I've used nothing else since I found it, and a tube lasts a LOOOOOOONG time if you apply the right amount...which isn't much. When one of my sons appropriated the last tube I had to use on his trombone (before ordering another here on Amazon) I was sort of lamenting not having the above-mentioned repair shop to buy a new one, but was VERY happy to find it here! Considering that I don't play nearly as much as I used to, my guess is that this tube will now last me literally for the rest of my playing life...as long as I don't LOSE it somewhere! BUY some...if you are a playing pro (or student, for that matter) using a slide grease (not oil, then grease...the two don't mix...you need to use one or the other, or risk ruining your slide!), and you use it correctly, you WILL be happy!

    Product exactly as expected. USPS sure delayed its arrival, and took their sweet time. That isn’t necessarily the seller’s fault, but I thought I would warn other buyers, just in case you are expecting Amazon Delivery, this one through this seller will be sent USPS.
