My wife and I play in Malvern Chase Brass Band, a local community band. Katherine on the Baritone and myself on the Cornet and Flugel.

I was asked by the band to source some valve oil for the band to supply to new players who are loaned instruments by the band and for existing players to buy for their own use.

My first problem was to find which oil was the "best" and secondly a UK supplier who sold bulk quantities at trade rates to the public.

After a lot of searching and research, I came across UltraPure Oils - a top quality valve oil and bulk supplier. The only problem was they were in the US.

Not to be put off I emailed the owner, Ken Saul and received a prompt and enthusiastic reply.

Within a very short period of time I found myself buying not just the oil required by the band, but also my first delivery of UltraPure Oil with the intention of supplying not just individuals but also brass bands around the UK and Europe.

The bottle are 2oz (59ml) as opposed to the more common 1.2oz (35ml) size, but the price offered for as few as 4 bottles means you pay less for the larger bottle than the retail price of the single smaller bottle.

You can order packs of 4 or 12 Ultra Pure Oil 2oz bottles using our secure on-line system, for larger quatities - including the 8oz REFIL bottle - please contact us for details.

Trade discount for retailers also available - email us for details.
