At Haydn Trumpets, we use Hetman® Synthetic Musical Instrument Lubricants exclusively. We prepare every horn before shipment with them and provide a set of 3 Hetman® lubricants with each horn we sell.

The Hetman® system of musical instrument lubricants was developed to go beyond the limitations of conventional oils and provide a new level of instrument performance and longevity.

Hetman® lubricants achieve the perfect balance between quick action and protection of the trumpet’s vital components. Unlike conventional petroleum oils, Hetman® lubricants are formulated in special viscosity grades to meet the specific requirements of the player, and best suit the individual character of the trumpet. Through the use of these special lubricants, players are afforded the feel and confidence of a smooth, consistent action, while the longevity of their trumpet is prolonged by the unique formulation of each lubricant.

Ongoing wear and weakening of the trumpet’s air seal due to improper lubrication are serious threats to any player. The negative effects include unsure response, diminishing resonance and clarity, erratic intonation, and unreliable action. Hetman’s extensive research and development has produced a comprehensive system of lubricants that satisfy the following criteria:

• Nontoxic Formula – each lubricant is nontoxic.
• Leading –Edge Technology – each lubricant embodies the most advanced technology, providing superior, longer lasting performance, and protection against wear and corrosion.
• Compatibility – each lubricant is compatible with conventional petroleum-based oils, avoiding potential gumming problems associated with some synthetics.
• Application Specific – each lubricant’s viscosity, and formulation is designed for its specific application – One oil for valves, another for 1st and 3rd slides, and yet another for main tuning slides.

Hetman® Musical Instrument Lubricants provide the best trumpet lubrication solution available today, which is why they’re used by top trumpeters around the world.
