Deg A08-SS1 Trombone Slide Saver, Pair

I bough this thinking it was bad because all of the reviews I rread and it fit perfect on my trombone it was very snug but I see where people come from saying that it does slide and scratch you laquer but this will only happen if you a small bore trombone see I have a Bach Stradivarius tenor f attachment open wrap and it a large bore so the slide is a little bigger hope this helps

It is generally not regarded as a good idea to add weight to your slide. However, these barely weigh anything. For me, their biggest discouragement to use was in the fact that I used them on my marching horn and if it rained, water could work its way underneath the ends of these and I'd have to remove them to dry, which was a pain. I ultimately decided to leave these off.

Good for outside defense on slide but at the cost of scratching the slide outer surface.

These are simply some plastic tubes that are split to fit over your slide. I use them all the time on my horn as I often play in high traffic environments and in outdoor situations. They add a noticable amount of weight to the outer slide, but I find the protection worth it.

Very nice, I cut them down for neck-piece cover too (cheaper than buying those pre-made.) Easy to spraypaint other colors in case you want to color-code your horns to keep track of what bell is with what slide ATM!

These do exactly what they're intended for: to save your slide from dents. What isn't mentioned; though, is the fact that they will not stay put on your horn, instead, they will scratch the finish on the slide. The $4 plastic tubes eventually will make a $600 slide look like a horn that has been through 8+ years rough of marching band. However, this is perfect for marching band trombone slides.

Essential for students in marching band- total slide saver

Good slide protection.
