I have to say, my new Monster Oil polishing cloth is making my horn look like new, and the lubricants are truly world-class. Some of my favorites for smoothness and still long-lasting.

I am confused. I'm asking here because:
1) Facebook is evil.
2) Other people may have the same question.
What is the difference between "Smoother" and "EcoPro Heavy".
I have a horn that's a little long in the tooth and I'm thinking that a heavier oil might make it happier.
Gary. |

Great question! The EcoPro line is the best line of lubricants we've ever tried. So I have to recommend trying the EcoPro Heavy first. However, our older formulation Smoother has a rabid following from antique instrument owners.
Give the EcoPro a shot and if you don't like it we'll send you a Smoother on the house.
Best,
Tom

Tom,
Which has the higher viscosity, the EcoPro Heavy or the Smoother? Just curious.
Thanks,
Ron

| Is the Eco Pro Heavy valve oil toxic? I’ve been using Ultra Pure Classic on my old Connstellation and I’ve always been rather unsettled by its toxicity. |

How much valve oil were you planning on drinking?
| Quote: | | Ultra-Pure Oils products are safe and non-toxic when used for their intended purpose - oiling a musical instrument. The US and Europe recognize all light oils sold to consumers as an aspiration risk, so they do not allow a "non-toxic" statement on the bottle. All brands of valve oils (and all other light hydrocarbon oils, whether petroleum or synthetic) require a safety warning statement and child-resistant packaging. |

I am purely guessing, but, for the trumpet player using it just for its intended usage, I would say nothing to worry about.
However, if you have a curious toddler who might drink it, IMO, this is a very relevant question. |
