Well, i like the way you say trombone, anyway when i got my trombone i was so careless, now Ive been playing for about a year, the slide has been through so much, i recently bought i used one, and i want to take as care of it as possible, your information was great and clear, thank-you very much, and someday when im in the Ohio State Marching Band, i'll be sure to remember you,

@Videoseeker234 I really like slide-o-mix; it gives the slide a lot of freedom and doesn't gum up like some lubricants. It can dry out pretty quickly, though. On my slide, I apply slide-o-mix according to the directions, and then add a thin coat of trombotine up around 1st-2nd position. It seems to give the slide-o-mix some staying power, without making the slide too sluggish. It's very helpful to experiment with different products to see which ones work best on your horn!

How often should you clean the trombone?
MetalFlyingFox 1 year ago
@MetalFlyingFox Thanks for your question! :) Depending on how much you play, you may want to clean it anywhere from every other week to every few weeks. I generally clean mine when the slide starts feeling gummy and lubricant doesn't help. Also, it's a must to clean your horn if you've been sick, so you won't breathe in germs every time you play!
