![Aftermarket Tuning Slides: Do They Make a Difference??

Great aftermarket slides by M/K drawing... https://www.mkdrawing.com/
Well, youll get to decide for yourself if they work. :) I believe there IS a difference - but it is subtle; overtones become different with each metal, perhaps more so than general tone. It takes a good ear to perceive the difference and, as seems so often the case, microphones and speakers dont always tell the whole tale. Ill first use the standard Bach D slide that came with this Strad (which is a standard weight 43 bell, Sterling Silver Plus bell. Second, I use a D-shaped (like the original Bach) Nickel-Silver tuning slide (all the aftermarket slides are by MK), then a dark Bronze radial slide, and lastly a Square Sterling Silver slide. I then use the Nickel-Silver slide with a great ACB Al Cass 1-27 mouthpiece, the Bronze slide with a Reeves C2J (a great trumpet/flugel piece), and lastly I use the square Sterling Silver slide with a Reeves 42C (a great play off of Bachs 7B mouthpiece [Ive read that Doc Severinsen really likes this mouthpiece with a 5ish Bach rim]). Enjoy! :)
