Using carbon fiber not only improves trombone slides but also musical aspects as well, because playing the trombone is now be achieved with less energy. The response when producing the notes is much faster, therefore making it easier for the trombonist, while extending at the same time his endurance. The sound of the trombone does not
change by using a carbon slide. With a special nickel silver hand slide crook a centered and solid sound is achieved over the whole tonal spectrum of the instrument even in the fortissimo range.

Using carbon makes one of the most light-weighted trombone slides in the world.

The new trombone outer slide made from carbon only weights about half the weight of a normal trombone slide. Moving the carbon slide to the different positions is being done with only a fraction of the normal energy needed with a brass slide. Due to the enormous stiffness of the material dents in the outer slide are no longer an issue. Carbon is absolutely free of corrosion. Acids and lubricants can do no harm.
