Frequently Asked Questions

The ML bore is quite versatile and works well for jazz; however, players needing a really bright, cutting tone for lead jazz might prefer a larger bore.
Regular cleaning and oiling of the slide is essential to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth action; a good quality slide cream is recommended.
