Vincent Bach Artisan Trombone Handslide

Picking a trombone handslide is a deeply personal decision where we have to ask ourselves what our goals involve. Most players have grown up using a standard weight slide, so when you get a chance to try new slides, don't judge things harshly right away. The standard weight slide will work for most orchestral musicians looking to match their sections and maintain a certain weight to their sound. The lightweight slide often resonates with players looking to add a little more nimbleness and "touch" to their sound. As always, we recommend playing modular components with your "home base" set up for best results
