I've been trying the Resilience Standard Valve Oil on some of my CarolBrass instrument stainless valves the past few months, and so far so good. It seems to be long lasting, and it doesn't leave behind a thin film like Tromba T2 does (CarolBrass' approved oil). It's seems a little thicker than T2 but not by much. T2 does seem to work well on stainless valves before they're broken in. The blue dye perhaps makes it easier to see and remove the tiny bits of metal.
Resilience raises a valid point that established oil brands were designed with monel or nickel plate in mind. There's certainly a place for stainless specialists if their claim of improved protection is proven true with time.
I don't know if the oil will stain clothing as I've avoided that so far.
I don't know how harmful or safe the oil is relative to the other brands.
Even with this new brand, the valves will dry if I leave the instrument in a hot car. The Sacramento Valley's heat is really tough on instruments. If I had selected the Light formulation, then they probably would have dried quicker.
Resilience Oils could enhance their web site by having a page about the steps required to properly care for stainless valves as well as guidance about the break-in period of stainless pistons.
Hope this mini-review is helpful. I'd like to hear from Resilience users who play more often, i.e. those who would better test the limits of their stainless valves. |
