Detail 01
Regular weight
The thicker of the two grades. More drag, better hold. Choose this when a slide creeps on its own.

Ultra-PureRegular Tuning Slide Lube 9mL
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
9 mL bottle of tuning slide lubricant in the regular (thicker) weight. For brass players whose slides move too freely or fall out of position.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Trumpet players whose third-valve slide slips during use
- Slides with worn tolerances that no longer hold position
- Annual maintenance after a chemical cleaning strips old grease
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who move a slide constantly and want minimum drag
- Anyone needing valve oil — this is far too thick for pistons
- Trombone hand slides, which need slide cream instead
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
9 mL bottle
Small on paper, but slides get lubricated a few times a year. This lasts a long time in normal use.
Detail 03
Tuning slide use, not valve use
Formulated to stay put under a slide tube. Put it on a piston and the valve will drag badly.
Detail 04
Liquid lube rather than grease
Spreads thinner than tub grease, so slides feel smoother than greased and firmer than oiled.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Clean old grease off the slide first or the new lube will not seat
- 02Regular versus Light is a feel choice — regular holds, light moves faster
- 03A thin film is enough; excess squeezes out and collects dust
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between Regular and Light?
Regular is thicker. It holds a slide in position and suits looser or worn fits. Light moves faster with less drag, better for slides you adjust while playing.
02Can I use this instead of tuning slide grease?
Yes, it does the same job. It applies thinner than tub grease, so slides feel less sticky, and you reapply somewhat more often.
03How often do I need to re-lube tuning slides?
A few times a year for most players. If a slide starts squeaking, sticking, or moving on its own, it is due.
04Will this loosen a stuck slide?
No. A seized slide has to be freed first, often by a repair tech. This prevents sticking once the slide already moves.
