SuperSlick Trumpet Care Kit

Everything a trumpet needs, in one bag.

Valves get sluggish, slides seize, and the inside of a trumpet collects more than anyone wants to think about. This kit is the whole daily-maintenance answer in one bag - the brushes that reach where a cloth cannot, the two lubricants a piston horn actually needs, and a polish cloth cut for lacquer.

What's in the bag.

• Brass mouthpiece brush: cleans the shank and throat, where buildup kills response first.
• Valve casing brush: the long one - gets inside the casings, which is where sticky valves start.
• Vinyl trumpet snake: flexible, coated cleaning snake for the leadpipe and tuning slide.
• SuperSlick valve oil: light viscosity, for fast valve action.
• SuperSlick tuning slide grease: keeps slides moving instead of frozen.
• SuperSlick lacquer polish cloth: safe on lacquer - will not strip the finish.
• Two-sided practice record and pencil: the log most band directors ask for.
• Step-by-step instructions: written for a beginner, not a tech.

Why a kit beats a pile of parts.

The reason students do not clean their instrument is almost never laziness - it is that the right brush is not in the case. Buy the pieces separately and something always gets skipped. SuperSlick has been supplying school band programs for more than sixty years and these kits are assembled in Elkhart, Indiana; the components are the same ones we keep on the repair bench, not filler thrown in to pad the count.

Specifications

Who It's For:

• Beginning trumpet and cornet players starting their first year, where one kit covers the whole supply list.
• Parents who would rather buy one thing than six, with the instructions in the bag.
• Band directors stocking a cabinet for the section that always forgets.

Valves sticking or slides stuck? Pick one up at Marich Music in Corning. If a cleaning does not fix it, our repair bench is right here - a frozen slide or a bent valve guide is usually a quick job.
