Trombone Slide Repair
Is your slide sluggish when it could be lightning fast? If so, it could negatively affect your playing.
UPDATE: Please read carefully:
Starting the first of the new year, I will be accepting slides by appointment only. This is to better accommodate Slide Doctor customers in a more timely manner.
Thank you for your understanding. ~ The Slide Dr.

“Absolute Magician”
"This man is an absolute magician. I destroyed my slide at a football game and took it to the Slide Dr the next morning. He fixed it better than it was new in no longer than two hours... Every trombone player should have the Slide Dr check out his/her slide. Absolutely recommended!"

“Fantastic job”
"My slide was in terrible shape. It was slow and out of alignment. I sent my slide to the Dr. and it is a different slide. They did a fantastic job. I would definitely recommend them."
