Join me as I walk through some of my top tips for preparing for a performance. And watch to the end for a SUPER SECRET bonus tip!
What is the machine oil that you use? Also, great video!
Thank you! The oil I use for under my caps is just a very basic machine oil. The 3-in-One brand multipurpose oil works really well. Highly recommend for bearings. However, I don't put it down my slides. I don't know how I'd feel about breathing in the fumes. Thanks again for watching. :)
@@theoffbeatperformer7781 Haha yeah the fumes are horrible. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for your video, lots of great tips on how to clean the horn. 🙏
Love your video, really detailed and straight to the point, I think I've got all my questions answered! 🙏
Thank you , I'm so glad it was helpful to you!
This is an incredibly comprehensive and well-edited video for how small your channel is!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it.
I love it!! Thank you for your advice. Very entertaining to watch! I like to use vivid imagery and imagination whenever I’m having travel getting something to sound expressive. When working on something technical, I like to employ similar techniques to this! :)
So glad you enjoyed it! A little imagination can make all the difference, I think. ;)
Good job!
Many thanks! :)
Not to pick nits, but. . . . When you put the slides back in without pressing the valves you don’t make a vacuum. You’re creating PRESSURE or Compressed Air. That compressed air is what pushes the oil into the rotors. That is what makes that wonderful “Thunk”! I Looooove your videos! !
Thanks, I don't mind if you pick nits. :) I appreciate the correction of terminology!
