Trombone Tuning Slides
 
Price: $300.00
Availability: Usually ships in 2-3 weeks
Tuning slides are available in yellow brass or rose brass. We
have found that most people prefer offsetting the bell with the
tuning slide — yellow bell with rose tuning slide or red/rose
bell with yellow tuning slide.
Single Radius tuning slides are the
most common. They have one continuous bend from small to large
end. They are very free blowing and open in all registers.
Dual Radius tuning slides have two
bends. The shape is more square with the two bends making
a flattened top. The dual radius provides a quicker response
and ease in the upper register, however, the sound is more compact
than the single radius tuning slide. All dual radius tuning slides
are CF treated to offset the compact nature of this tuning slide.

Counterweight
Price: $50.00
Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 weeks
The Edwards counterweight not only balances the horn, preventing
it from becoming "bell heavy," but it also can have
a positive effect on the way it plays. The addition of the counterweight
can darken the sound while making it easier to slot the partials.
On the other hand, for those players that want a wider sound,
the counterweight may not be a positive addition to your horn.
