    I think I speak for all trombonists when I say that this is the best trombone slide repair that I hope I'll never need.

    Hey Wes,
    You are very generous with your content. I learned a lot.

    Not sure why I keep watching your videos, usually 1 a day. I am not a musician, I am not a workshop technician of any kind. I do love listening to music of most kinds, military and country in parrticular. I do have one musical instrument, it is my late grandfather's military fife. He was a UK army musician in the earlier part of the last century. It is unplayable due to a split in the wood. Probably I watch because I love seeing masters of their craft at work.

    Details make the difference. I really enjoy your videos. I am a retired Master GM mechanic for 50 years. The difference between a good mechanic and a Master Mechanic is someone that pays attention to the details. When I first started "turning wrenches" was in 1973 at a Vo-tech School in Auto Mechanics. I was very nervous about getting everything just right. I told myself this car and/or truck belongs to me NOW. I would work on it to repair MY car and/or truck the way it "Wanted" it repaired. Slow down, take my time, and do the very best job I know how. When it was finished and passed all my tests, I would "ONLY THEN" turn it back to the customer. I had a passion for what I was doing, getting paid for it was the customers way of saying thank you. In the world we live in today, everyone just wants the money, so they turn out inferior work! Wes Lee you are a Craftsman. I still am shocked by some of your repairs. I realize these are "student" instruments, but how did they bend them up that bad? Drop off a bridge. Thank you for helping this World Sound a little better with Music. Don Ross

    A very interesting video. I do woodworking. Many techniques you show are applicable to what I do. Take your time, use of quality tools - I’ve watched your videos for some time and never commented. I believe you are an excellent craftsman.

    I've been working making popular replacement trombone leadpipes for a guy in Los Angeles for a couple years. I've seen him do some of this in the shop while I finish the pipes. Very cool stuff to learn about and to see you do as well! Thank you.

    That was so cool! I knew all of those things from a player perspective, now I know them from the technician's perspective. Also, "Oh, yeah, that feels great" when running the slide. We all know that feeling.

    "Venturi tube" That's the part that came unsoldered on the trombone my parents rented. I was always careful not to put the mouthpiece in too hard, but one day a tube pulled out with it. The band director called it something else, but I forget.

      Many lead pipes are press fit and bend easily so a stuck mouthpiece makes for a dangerous challenge :/

    A granite surface plate from Woodcraft will be cheaper than the Ferree's ground metal surface plate. It will be at least as accurate (maybe a couple of tenths--0.0002"--over the 18" length) and usually easier to come by. It will also be useful for other things, too, like aligning a whole mess of valve tubing in a top-action euphonium or tuba, or aligning tuning slides so that they are co-planar. And with a surface gage, a granite plate is also very good for scribing precise distances from square ends. I love Ferree's (and I have a big order coming from them this week), but they are sometimes out of reach price-wise for amateurs. But they will sell their good stuff to those amateurs, unlike "Company A."

    My trombone. Often hit the bell against the slide when assembly to play. I am careful but it still happens. Wished to find a way to prevent it during high school. After 50 years I still play. It's a Conn.

    How do you straighten a slide when it has a S bend?

  • @brassyjazzful
    @brassyjazzful 4 месяца назад

    I recently got a hold of a late model Olds which seemingly ok and had good slide action, however over the the past few weeks the action has started to get worse, and I'm seeing plating wear on the top inner slide down on the stocking which I didn't see when I looked in the beginning, shortly after I got the horn a couple months ago... Can imperfections in the plating be smoothed out to fix the action or are the slides kind of cooked at that point? It always seems like I have to constantly respray during a practice session. Planning on taking it in to be looked at soon.

    In the right hands with the right tools, metal is putty. You don’t learn a skill like this in one week one month or one year, decades in the correct tools, and the right temperament.

    • @rickdenney5772
      @rickdenney5772 Год назад

      Right temperament, perhaps. But it's actually not magic, or even art. It's knowing what to do and why you do it, and practicing it just enough so that the muscle memory obeys that knowledge instead of fighting it. Trombone slides are actually easier than valve tubing on most brass instruments, because they are so accessible.

  • @capitolabill1921
    @capitolabill1921 10 месяцев назад

    Near where I live, is an HBCU, that the trombone players are famous for jamming their forearms through the slide tubes. And executing a karate chop style maneuver. Of course this produces a wooden barrel bow. I've been in the music store when these are brought in. Definitely not family friendly.
