Detail 01
Grease, not oil
Thick enough to seal and hold on a tuning slide, where thin valve oil would run off in a day.

Hetman8 - Premium Slide Grease
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Slide grease for brass tuning slides. For players whose slides are stiff, squeaky, or slow to move.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Freeing up tuning slides that have gone stiff or sticky
- Routine maintenance after cleaning a brass horn
- Players who tune with the slide mid-performance and need smooth travel
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trombone hand slides, which need dedicated slide cream or lubricant
- Valves and rotors — those take a thinner valve oil
- Anyone whose slide is stuck; that needs freeing first, not grease
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Seals as well as lubricates
A properly greased slide holds its position and keeps air from leaking past the tubing joint.
Detail 03
Small tub, thin application
A film the thickness of a fingerprint is enough. One container lasts most players a very long time.
Detail 04
Around $9
Costs less than one repair-shop visit to unstick a slide neglected for a season.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Wipe the old grease off the slide first — layering over grit makes it worse

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a trombone hand slide?
No. Hand slides need a thin cream or lubricant made for fast motion. Grease will make the slide drag badly.
02How often should I regrease?
When the slide starts moving stiffly or squeaking. Clean the old grease off first, then apply a thin, even film.
03How much do I use?
A thin film over the slide tube. Excess squeezes out, collects dust, and ends up gumming the slide instead of helping.
04Will this work on valves?
No. Pistons and rotors need valve oil. Grease is too heavy and will slow the valves down.
