Can I use this on my trumpet that has a stuck tuning slide?

I've never heard of anyone using NO. 9 oil on a musical instrument. The question is, is it toxic? I would go to Hoppe's website and ask them.

Probably could but wouldn't it be better to use something that is not made from oil, like a vegetable oil or something that is food grade? Esspecially if there is a chance of digesting it,

Boy, I don't know if it is toxic or not. I'm sure it won't hurt the trumpet, but it is made for guns, and you don't put your mouth on your gun unless you are in a REALLY bad way... :)

Ya I think so. It has a accented high frequency that I think would work good for a trumpet. I usually use it for vocals and acoustic guitars and end up boosting the mid-lows a bit because its a little thin but I think it would be good for a trumpet in my opinion. I havnt tried it for any brass though so this is just a general thought

I don't think I'll be much help. Got it for my husband to annoy me with, lol. We are not really a musical family. I did pull it out of the box though and I couldn't find anything on the box or the didgeridoo about it being tuned to any specific key. I'd think that with it being a natural sound made by the curvature of the instrument and a cheaper version at that... it probably hasn't been tuned for any specific key.

This is a very good tool to have for anyone who has drums with nearly any kind of tuning system. My son uses this tool on his hand drums with mechanical tuners. I use it on my Tabla set. We both use it on our trap sets. The drums sound noticeably better after a tuning. A previous answer detailed how this tuner works, so I will not repeat those instructions.

The drop D tuning is great for slide. Skip James liked DADF#AD. Just Google "resonator guitar tunings" and you'll get a lot of information.

This is a chromatic vibration sensor tuner, so it can be used on any acoustic string instrument. You just need to know what note/pitch you want to tune the string to, and you must be able to clip the tuner somewhere on to the instrument so that it can sense the vibration of the instrument.

I've had trouble with any tunings other than standard. It will eventually hear the note and start to work but once you get lower than a 1/2 step it has trouble picking up the note.

I'm not really sure but I know on ours you cant just press the button & let go or it will lag & not finish the tune. You have to hold the button until in finishes.

I think i know what your asking. and i believe this is all you need to be able to tune what ever you shall be putting it on. all it does is tension the string tighter or loser therefore getting your different tones. hope that helped

It's fun to play in standard tuning but there are lots of variations of open tuning. Look up tuning for slide and try some

It works just fine with my tenor ukulele. It's chromatic so it'll give you the note for whatever tuning you want to use. Hope this helps.

Simply clip it to the headstock and turn it on to start tuning. It works great.

As long as you have the tuner calibration set correctly it should tune any instrument. The calibration default is 440 which is standard for just about all stringed instruments. I use it to tune a banjo at 440 and a bagpipe at 475+ and it works great. It is one of the best tuners that I have ever use and being a chromatic tuner makes it very versatile.

Yes, the Snark will work on any instrument to which it can be attached to pick up the tonal vibrations. The SN-2 covers the full range of pitches. It just clips on. I use it on mandolins, octave mandolin, mandola, banjos, baritone ukulele, guitars, etc. Just about everyone with whom I play uses it.

It should work fine with any instrument you can clamp it onto. I has a chromatic tuner setting that I have used for Bass, Guitar and Uke and it will tell you what pitch it receives and when it is exactly on that note.

No, not in my experience. The tuning knob has a decent amount of resistance to movement, so moving around in a pocket is very unlikely to move it off station.
