Instrument Care Reminders

Before putting your instrument back in its case after playing, do the following:

Trombone

• Use the water key to empty water from the instrument. Blow air through it.

• Remove the mouthpiece and slide assembly. Do not take the outer slide off

the inner slide piece. Return the instrument to its case.

• Once a week, wash the mouthpiece with warm tap water. Dry thoroughly.

Trombone slides occasionally need oiling. To oil your slide, simply:

• Rest the tip of the slide on the floor and unlock the slide.

• Exposing the inner slide, put a few drops of oil on the inner slide.

• Rapidly move the slide back and forth. The oil will then lubricate the slide.

• Be sure to grease the tuning slide regularly. Your director will recommend

special slide oil and grease, and will help you apply them when necessary.

CAUTION: If a slide or your mouthpiece becomes stuck, ask for help from your band director

or music dealer. Special tools should be used to prevent damage to your instrument.
