A p.s. follow-up, I have switched to BERP oil. On a good recommendation, I understand that it lasts longer than Hetman's but is as effective. I'm lazy when it comes to horn maintenance.

@Brad - same evaluation as my initial one. While there are some who say there is no difference in silver or lacquered Getzens, in my case, this lacquered one is a little darker.

Maybe that's not the way to say it. It has brilliance to match the silver horn when needed, but it just seems to have a broader range of colours, to lean towards a darker sound when needed. If it's not the finish then, of course, it could just be this horn.

BTW, I got a Capri first-valve slide trigger put on. Great addition.

if the BERP doesn't work (don't see why it shouldn't), Monster's Doc's Juice works like a charm on both my 900 and Proteus - usually once a week does it on both horns. It is also a really good oil to use on the 900's Amados. Doesn't gunk them up.
