Second Semester: Week 5

This week was a work week for our project french horns but we also learned how to sight trombone slides. Sighting trombone slides can be tricky but once a slide is aligned the action of the slide can be greatly improved. To sight a slide stand parallel to a fluorescent light source. hold the slide up towards the light so that there are two beams of light that follow along the slide. The lines are suppose to be parallel. Where the light bends is where the slide needs to be scooped back into alignment.

The outer lower slide is curving to the left. This is from the handslide perspective

Same slide from the crook perspective. The lower slide is definitely curving in towards the upper brace
