Five new products have been added to Bach’s “Synthetic Plus” series of musical instrument lubricants! This series is designed to ensure smooth operation and long-lasting performance while protecting instruments from corrosion and oxidation. You can choose the right product based on the application—such as rotary valves or slide tubes—and the required viscosity.
■
Bearing & Linkage Oil / BBL1ZSG
A high-viscosity oil suitable for rotary valve bearings and linkages. It can also be used on springs, such as those in water keys.
■
Kick Slide Oil / BKS1ZSG
Oil for the first and third slides of the trumpet. It supports quick and accurate pitch adjustments during performance.
■
Rotary Valve Oil / BRO1ZSG
A low- to medium-viscosity oil for rotary valves. Suitable for trombones, horns, tubas, rotary trumpets, and other instruments.
■
Valve Oil 〈Vintage Formula〉 / BVO2ZSG
A medium- to high-viscosity valve oil. It helps maintain the airtight seal of pistons—such as those in instruments that have been used for many years—that require high-viscosity oil, supporting comfortable playing.
■
Tuning Slide Gel / BTS1ZSG
A gel suitable for the main tubes and tuning slides of trumpets and trombones. It has a higher viscosity than the conventional Bach Tuning Slide Grease “2942B” and is formulated with antioxidants to prevent corrosion and oxidation.
