Trumpet Players: What do you think about Al Cass Fast Valve Oil for Trumpet, especially King Trumpets?

What do you think about Blue Juice for King trumpets?


Use occasionally or all the time??


(I heard Blue Juice is junk from someone on the internet. Is this true?)


What kind of valve oil do you think is best for King Legend trumpets? King Legend Fugelhorns and King Cornets?Trumpet Players: What do you think about Al Cass Fast Valve Oil for Trumpet, especially King Trumpets?
Valve oil is not that different. I use the Woodwind/Brasswind brand, that they make for themselves. It is 60 cents a bottle,and lasts forever. the Al Cass stuff is good, as is the Blue Juice.


Valves are valves, and just because you have a king trumpet, doesnt' determine what kind of valve oil to use.





Just get the cheapest you can find, lube up, and enjoy. When they start to stick again, take them out, wipe them off with a paper towel, or rag....get all the gunk off, and lub again.





But also realize there is nothing worse to a trumpet player than sluggish valves. One of my pet peeves, but I would just get the generic brand of oil, and it works great.





I've been playing trumpet for 35 years, and now play on a Bach Stradivariois, with generic brand oil. Works great!!Trumpet Players: What do you think about Al Cass Fast Valve Oil for Trumpet, especially King Trumpets?
i spoke with a trumpet playing chemist years ago about valve oil,...the only thing he said was never-ever use anything with dye in it, the dye can build up on valves,...





personally i use all cass because i was given a bunch free,...works great!
i emailed you about this question! lol. blue juice is junk...lol.
Dude, valve oil is valve oil. It is one of the few things in life that doesn't really vary from one brand to the next.





If you don't believe me, get a cheap brand and pricey brand. Have someone lube up two trumpets with the stuff and see if you can guess which is which.....you'll get the same felling most of the time.
