[Trombone-l] Comparable mpc to Laskey 85MD

[Daniel Pliskin]

>The other alternative is to have the tuning slide cut down.


I often find that the hand slides of trombones are longer than they need to 
be, for the inner slide tubes.  Put only one inner tube into the hand slide 
and see if there’s any extra outer tubing, before the inner slide tube 
reaches the joints of the slide tubes and crook.

Most of the trombones that I work on have such out of wack slides that 
cutting off a bit of the outer slide tube, at the crook end, is just the 
beginning of all of the adjustments that need to be made, in order to get 
the slide tubes dent-free, straight, polished, parallel and aligned.

Perhaps your slide needs other work, as well.  And perhaps your outer slide 
is long enough to cut a bit of otherwise unused tubing off of the hand 
slide.  Ask your repairperson about it.
