Blue Juice Valve Oil 2 oz.


BLUE JUICE is an oil for all valved instruments, piston and rotary. It was developed by a Chemical/Lubrication Engineer who is also a Trumpet player. It has built in inhibitors to retard bacterial growth, especially when it is a long time between clean-outs. BLUE JUICE is also non-corrosive to all metals used in the construction of musical instruments. It actually helps keep instruments internally clean. Plus, it's blue!

Tested by our own Matahari Team. One of us is actually using it now. Strongly recommended.
