Schilke valves and Yamaha valve oil. Anyone else?

[abundrefo]

Hello,

I've just got a new S32HD Schilke and, during this first week, I've been experimenting with valve oil.

I washed the trumpet to remove Schilke oil and tried some synthetic brands.

I started with Hetman 1, since most people recommended it. But, for some reason, I never got along with Hetman. ...as much as I wanted to like it.

I've always liked Ultra Pure but this time it felt too thick, and Ultra Pure Light felt too thin.

...so I remembered I still had 4 bottles of Yamaha Regular and it seems to be working just fine.

I remember reading somewhere that Yamaha oil has a formula that's similar to Hetman and that both Yamaha and Schilke trumpets have pretty tight valves. So I think I'll keep using it.

Now, just out of curiosity, does anyone else here use Yamaha oil with a Schilke trumpet?

Thanks!

I've owned several Schilkes, using three of them extensively, both before and after Yamaha came out with their synthetics oils.

Never had any problems with any valves on any Schilke but "feel" and longevity improved on everything when I started using Yamaha synthetics on all my horns.

Some oils don't work at all for me (one, disastrously) including brands that are highly touted and recommended by top players and techs.

Tromba T2 and never look back.

I’ve had the same experience with Ultra pure and Hetman 1. I now use Hetman 2 with great success. So if you’re a Hetman lover try number 2. It all boils down to whatever works for you and your horn.
