La Tromba, Valve-Oil T2, Special, 63ml

An absolute hit in band!

Excellent, especially for top-of-the-line trumpets!

I recently bought an intermediate trumpet directly from a Manufacturers Rep here in the U.S. Im in my upper-50s, and just a comeback player looking to enjoy playing the trumpet again after 30ish years. My previous trumpets were a student King model, and 2 Bach Strads — a Trumpet and a Flugelhorn. Within a few days I noticed the valves on the newly purchased trumpet were mediocre at best. As I noted in the headline they were both sluggish, and would require constant valve oil to keep them from sticking. I was getting quite frustrated with the horn, and was about to return it when I did some research (via trumpetherald dot com and trumpetmaster dot com primarily). I noticed quite a number of players - including some 20+ - 30 yr pros were raving about a number of specific valve: Ultra-Pure …..Hetman’s ….Al Case ….Blue Juice ….and La Tromba T2. There were a few others as well, but those were the 5 that seemed to be emphasized the most. I noodled on the options, and ran with opting to try the La Tromba T2 valve oil. The bottle arrived today, and after thoroughly cleaning the horn and applying a fairly generous amount of this oil —— I absolutely couldn’t believe the total night & day difference in the way the valves behaved. There is simply NO COMPARISON. This valve oil is amazing!! NOTE: I’m not a spokesman, or in any way paid or associated with this brand of valve oil. I just took a few minutes to share my experience in the hopes that it could possibly help another person in a similar situation.

I have a Van Laar trumpet and some other valve oils were not working. This oil was recommended and my valves have been perfect. Couldnt be happier.

Try wrapping teflon plumbers tape from the hardware store around the threads of the bottle. That will fix it.

Easy to apply and bottle doesnt smell or leak

I used this oil for years until the factory closed in Switzerland. I was happy to see it resurface with new owners and the same employees and formula. My questions were answered promptly.

From experience I know this is a top-notch valve oil. However, the replacement bottle ordered via an Amazon partner had a cap that seemed a size too large; it did not seal the bottle, but would just slide off the screw-seal. There was leakage already when the package was opened, and the reason soon became obvious. It was returned the following day for a full Amazon refund.

Best valve oil ever and I tried them all. After reading several reviews about the faulty bottle, I bought few dropper bottles to transfer the valve oil. It works like a charm.

My cornet valves where sluggish and sticky even when using Blue Juice valve oil. With this oil my valves are incredibly smooth. This stuff is specially formulated for monel valves. I highly recommend it!
