Yamaha Synthetic Valve Oils

Designed for musiciansYamaha technicians are musicians themselves, so when they designed these oils they knew exactly what players want and need. These oils were created to make sure your instrument performs at its absolute best. |
Choose your weightThe advanced process used to create these oils allows precise control over how thick or thin the oil is. Because of this, you can choose from four different weights of oil to match your horn's specific needs. |
Corrosion inhibitorYamaha synthetic oils have a specially designed anti-corrosion agent added to the formula. This additive counters the natural corrosive effects that saliva and moisture have on the inside of an instrument, giving increased protection to your valves. |
Childproof capThese oils come in a child resistant container to help prevent accidental ingestion or spills. To open, simply push the cap down while turning counter-clockwise. |
Standard Valve Oils
Regular valve oils are traditionally made from a blend of standard mineral oils such as kerosene or paraffin oil. The thickness, or viscosity, of these oils is controlled by altering the mix of mineral oils blended together until it “feels right.” If you could look all the way down to the molecular level in a blend like this you’d see individual oil molecules of all different sizes, ranging from very small to very large.
The problem with a traditional oil like this is that the smaller oil molecules tend to evaporate much more quickly than the larger ones. This means that an oil that starts out “right” will gradually get thicker as the thinner parts of the oil evaporate away. The end result for the player is that valves start out feeling great, but begin to get gummy over time because the oil that’s still left on the valves is made up entirely of the remaining larger, heavier molecules.
Yamaha Synthetic Valve Oils
Yamaha synthetic oils are created from a chemical process that produces very even and consistent molecules that are similar in size. Since the molecules all evaporate at the same rate, the oil will continue to provide the same lubrication and smooth feel over time without getting gummy or slow. This also allows the oils to remain much more stable and consistent in extreme conditions, so if you often find yourself playing outdoors or in very hot weather, a synthetic oil will keep your valves working smoothly and much more reliably.
In addition, having control over the size of the molecules means that the thickness of the oil can be precisely adjusted to create different options for different uses. This allows Yamaha to offer four different viscosities of valve oil and an assortment of other slide, rotor and key oils that are all fine-tuned for the specific part of the instrument where they are used.
