Hey man thanks for the vid! I remember 10 years ago Shires founder made an ASA post on Reddit and some people asked what's the most important for the instrument. His reply was to "oil the valve every 2 weeks". So that really shows how important lubricating the valves is!
Just lube everything up with a heavier weight oil....those little vibrations will be dampened. I suggest straight 30 weight motor oil. OK, just kidding! In the quest to make those valve operations more ergonomic to the player, those funky linkages need to be functioning in perfect unison. Almost makes one miss the days of simple trigger keys and strings.
Bass trombone ASMR doesn't get any better than this.
(Great video as always 🤝)
