Slide Work

There is nothing worse for a trombonist than a slide that hinders our creativity and musical growth. If there is one thing Christan has taken away from his decade in the business, it's the fact that we need more quality technicians taking care of our trombone slides. He's seen all manner of slide abuse and neglect -- and not always by the owner. He only trusts a handul of slide technicians throughout the world, Scott Tomaske being one of them.

Scott joins GSI with over two decades of slide work experience. Overseeing Edwards and Getzen slide production, he has amassed a wealth of knowledge that he feels is best used serving the entire trombone community and not just the Edwards/Getzen lines.

How it Works

First, call (262) 949-1924 to schedule an appointment. After setting up a date and time, you will need to ship your slide to us. Upon receipt, Scott will examine the slide and determine the best course of action, at which time we will contact you before beginning any work. You can expect an honest appraisal of the problem.

Our goal is to provide you with the best slide action possible using your instrument's original components. If that is not possible, some slide tube replacements are possible for certain brands and models.

Pricing

Slide Tune Up: $100.00
Shipping $20.00
Total: $120.00

Wisconsin residents will need to add 5.5% sales tax ($5.50)

Testimonials

Dear Jeff,

I received my Edwards .525/.547 slide a few hours ago. Thank you for you kind assistance and excellent support. Scott did a great job on my slide, too!

I really appreciate your quick service. For others who may be interested, I mailed my slide to Griego Mouthpieces in Elkhorn and it arrived by UPS on a Tuesday evening. On the following Monday morning, the slide was returned to me at my home in Florida. The resulting slide action is a perfect 10.

I purchased my T-350 with Christian's help in 1999. The slide (and the rest of the horn) is magnificent. No slide work has been required since I purchased the horn until two weeks ago when it began to slow down even with frequent care and cleaning. Now after Scott's tune-up, it's back to its normal greased lightning speed.

I am truly impressed with your service and wonderful results. To all the other Edwards folks out there, and others, I highly recommend you use Griego Mouthpiece's slide work program – it's a winner!
