The design of a handslide (bore size, width, materials used, material gauges, etc.) can have a huge impact on a trombone's sound, response, control and feel. In this video we compare three different S.E. Shires large bore handslides, the TW47, TB47 and T47YC, all on the same bell section. What do you notice? Let us know in the comments
