Adewale Ojeleye ENG 302 2/3/16 Amazon Product Review I have been participating in concert band as a tuba player for over six years now. This period of time extends all the way back from elementary school to my current status as a college student. Over the course of these years, I have come into contact with different tubas of varying states. To anyone with knowledge or experience of brass instruments, it is no surprise that the state of an instrument directly affects the player’s performance during rehearsal. Player skill does mitigate or rather enhance the performance potential of an instrument, but a non-working integral part of an instrument will hinder any player’s performance despite their skill. At the start of the semester, I was given a rental tuba that has seen some use. As a whole, the current condition of the instrument was less than desirable. The valves were sticky and the tuning slides would hardly move a centimeter. Simply playing a scale proved to be difficult with the tuba’s sticky valve buttons. The instrument’s tuning slides and valves were in dire need of valve oil. Tired with my struggling attempts to play on the tuba, I purchased and ordered a small bottle of valve oil (or Blue Juice as the company calls it) through Amazon last week. The order confirmation predicted a delivery time of one week. I was surprised to receive the bottle a few days earlier than projected by the web services. To my relief, there were no marks or damage on the bottle of valve oil. After applying a couple drops to my concert band instrument, I was met with immediate results. The once sticky valves on my instrument began to move like brand new and the tuning slides would slide with little to no effort. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my purchase. The product completely met my expectations and fulfilled all my services. I am now able to perform on my instrument without a hitch. For anyone on the fence on purchasing this item, I fully recommend taking upon the commitment for this product.

Good stuff!!

Does it’s job for a for a Cornett

Back in the late 80's, when I had a mullet, I bought a bottle of Holton Valve Oil for my trumpet and it lasted until now. My three boys are all playing trumpet now and our valve oil usage has thus tripled...maybe more as sometimes my boys oil their valves like they are oiling a pig at the county fair event. This Blue Juice is a high quality oil; not too thick that it does not flow down the valves, but not too thin that it does not last. The valves work smoothly and, with regular playing, have not needed re-oiling since the school year started. I forecast we will have these bottles of valve oil forever. Two matters worth noting: -If you get the valve oil on clothing or if some drips inside a case, it does not stain blue, it just looks oily. -There is a safety cap on the bottles I received. In today's day and age, it is understandable that the maker would put a cap like this on a bottle of oil to prevent accidental ingestion, but it makes opening a chore; especially for an elementary aged kid or someone who is holding a trumpet in their other hand. Overall, this was a great buy functionally and financially. Play on! I attached a picture for reference. UPDATE 1/2020: After one and one half school years, this Blue Juice is still working well. Each of my boys has one in their trumpet case and each bottle has >90% left so a little goes a long way. The oil still works very well although there is one matter worth noting...my middle schooler's well intentioned music teacher assisted in oiling my son's valves prior to a concert and used another brand of valve oil to do so. The result a few weeks later was a not so smoothly operating set of valves from the mixture. I cannot say definitively if it was from the two brands mixing or if it was just a crummy oil that the teacher used, but since then I have cleaned and reoiled those valves with Blue Juice and all is well.

I am pleased with this product. I use it on my cornet and my flugelhorn.

I found this product to be great. Usually a sticky valve would have to be removed and cleaned before using valve oil to be effective. I just had a situation during a gig where a valve began to be sticky. I squeezed a few drops of Blue Juice Valve oil in the hole and wala, no more sticky valve. GREAT STUFF!!

Great for lubing the old brass up some tunes.
