Detail 01
Heavy formulation
More drag than standard slide grease. Holds a slide in position rather than letting gravity move it.

Ultra-PureHeavy Tuning Slide Lube 9ml
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A heavier-bodied tuning slide lubricant in a 9ml tube. For brass players whose slides drop or creep with lighter grease.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loose or worn tuning slides that slip out of position
- Trumpet and horn slides you want to stay put
- Players who reapply rarely and want longevity
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Cork joints on woodwinds — pick a cork grease instead
- Tight, near-new slides that only need a light film
- Valve or rotor lubrication, which needs thin oil
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
9ml tube
Roughly double a small grease tube. Reasonable for a player who maintains several horns.
Detail 03
Tuning slide specific
Made for the fitted metal-on-metal slide tubes, not for cork tenons or moving valve parts.
Detail 04
Tube dispensing
Meter small amounts and apply by hand. Less waste than dipping from a jar.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Clean old lube and green residue from both tubes first
- 02Heavy lube makes slides stiffer — not what you want for quick tuning pulls
- 03Cork grease and valve oil are not included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is this different from regular slide grease?
It is heavier bodied, so it grips more. Use it when a slide falls or creeps rather than holds.
02Can I use it on a trombone hand slide?
No. Hand slides need a fast, thin lubricant. This heavy grease will make the slide sluggish.
03Will it make my slide hard to move?
It adds noticeable drag by design. On an already tight slide, that can be more resistance than you want.
04Does it work on rotor linkages?
No. It is intended for tuning slides. Rotors and linkages need their own thin oils.
