SuperSlick Trombone Care Kit

A slide that moves, and a horn that stays clean.

A trombone lives or dies by its slide, and a slide that has never been oiled is the number one complaint in any beginning band room. This kit covers the slide and the rest of the instrument together - oil, grease, the brushes that reach inside, and a cloth that is safe on lacquer.

What's in the bag.

• SuperSlick slide oil: light, long-lasting, for fast and quiet slide action.
• SuperSlick tuning slide grease: for the tuning slide, which needs grease and not oil.
• Brass mouthpiece brush: cleans the shank and throat.
• Vinyl trombone snake: flexible coated snake for the inner slide and leadpipe.
• SuperSlick lacquer polish cloth: safe on lacquer - will not strip the finish.
• Two-sided practice record and pencil: the log most band directors ask for.
• Step-by-step instructions: written for a beginner, not a tech.

Why a kit beats a pile of parts.

The reason students do not clean their instrument is almost never laziness - it is that the right brush is not in the case. Buy the pieces separately and something always gets skipped. SuperSlick has been supplying school band programs for more than sixty years and these kits are assembled in Elkhart, Indiana; the components are the same ones we keep on the repair bench, not filler thrown in to pad the count.

Specifications

Who It's For:

• Beginning trombonists whose slide has already started to drag or squeak.
• Parents buying the supply list in one trip.
• Band directors keeping kits on hand for the section.

Slide dragging? Come to Marich Music in Corning. Oil fixes most of it - and if the slide is bent or out of alignment, that is bench work we do here.
