Hi,

My colleague at band uses Blue Juice valve oil and claims it is better for his instrument  than other makes, is that true? 

Thanks

Steven

Hi Steven,

Thanks for your email.

Blue juice is synthetic and contains anti-microbial chemicals which prevent bacterial growth between cleaning, other makes such as  Al Class and Rocket are purely petroleum based (so a more natural product) and do exactly the same job (minus the anti-bacterial agents) but some players do prefer blue juice, although this is down largely to personal preference. However, any benefits the Blue Juice has in terms of cleaning are minimal if the instrument is cleaned and oiled regularly, regardless of the valve oil used.  I would therefore recommend the Rocket as best value for money. 

I hope this answers your question - if you have any other queries please do get in touch.

Kind Regards,
