Yes, it can be removed, usually for cleaning and lubrication purposes.
it makes sure the slide doesn't slip off when not playing
Yes. It prevents the slide from falling off the instrument when not in use.
first soak mouthpiece face down in mouthwash... pull the outer part of the slide of off the inner part of the slide after making sure you have unlocked your trombone.... next place the disasembled trombone in approxiamtely 4 inches of warm soapy water (dawn dishsoap works best) and let them soak 5-10 minutes... remove from water and place in case (leave case open so mold doesn't grow) let dry completely and also dont forget the mouthpiece that has been soaking
Considering the fact that it's highly unlikely that a pencil wedged itself into the crook of the slide, just remove the outer slide and it should fall right out.Blow real hard,i wonder how a pencil get stuck in the trombone? But seriously you might try a coat hanger to hook behind it and dislodge it so it will fall out.Ask a professional to remove it for you. You could try using a cleaning snake to get it out. Or, just don't get it stuck in the first place.Are you serious? If it's stuck in the bell try getting your cleaning snake attached with something and see if that helps, If its stuck in the slide take the outer part off and use your snake again with something attached Trust me I know I have played trombone for the past six years=========Get a repairman to do it. You could do some expensive damage trying to remove it yourself. it would be very hard to get a pencil stuck unless it was very short.
First, remember to hold down the valve before moving the slide. If you can get the slide off (by pulling gently), then I would suggest wiping off the slide and applying some slide grease. Note that this is not the same as valve oil. If you don't have slide grease, try asking a trombone player if you can borrow a little bit.If you still cannot get the slide to go all the way back in, take it to a repair shop. Never try to force one piece of an instrument into another - you risk doing permanent damage.
How do you prevent the slide from falling off the stage?
First: Clean off the slide
Remove wheels Remove 2 caliper mounting bolts Slide caliper off rotors Rotors should slide off hub Fully retract piston into caliper body using a "C" clamp Replace inner and outer brake pads Re-Install rotors Slide caliper on rotors and re-secure REMEMBER TO PUMP BRAKES TO SET PADS AGAINST ROTORS PRIOR TO MOVING VEHICLE Remove wheels Remove 2 caliper mounting bolts Slide caliper off rotors Rotors should slide off hub Fully retract piston into caliper body using a "C" clamp Replace inner and outer brake pads Re-Install rotors Slide caliper on rotors and re-secure REMEMBER TO PUMP BRAKES TO SET PADS AGAINST ROTORS PRIOR TO MOVING VEHICLE Remove wheels Remove 2 caliper mounting bolts Slide caliper off rotors Rotors should slide off hub Fully retract piston into caliper body using a "C" clamp Replace inner and outer brake pads Re-Install rotors Slide caliper on rotors and re-secure REMEMBER TO PUMP BRAKES TO SET PADS AGAINST ROTORS PRIOR TO MOVING VEHICLE
If it is of the "peel off" type Remove wheel Remove 2 caliper mounting bolts Slide and support caliper off the rotor Remove rotor should slide off If not "peel off" type Complete above steps and in addition Remove center hub (Spring Loaded) Remove gear should slide out Remove "spanner" nut Wiggle rotor outer bearing should fall out Remove Rotor
the difference is when a temporary slide has a germ it can come off and on a permanent slide has a germ on it it can't come off
It was first called the sackbut in England (based off of saicqueboute).
