On Monday, I got my Trombone. =) I took it home, and I played a while, then I was about to disassemble it, I locked my slide, but I was bored and wanted to keep playing. The slide lock went off the lock part a little, and I tried moving the slide (here comes the baby-ish part... -//-) ; I couldn't, I was scared because I thought it would stuck forever, I was about to cry but then, I try to move the slide again: It moved! It just needs slide oil.. xD
Its the school's Trombone, so yes, it was scary!
I was also scared because Mr.Hanna gave me a Bundy case, the Trombone was a Yamaha, so the Bell was alittle too big for the case; I got home, used it then wanted to disassemble it(See top) and my case wouldn't lock. Me:Maybe it won;t lock because its a old case.. I got scared because didn't want the parts to fall out. So I asked my mom, and the problem was that the end of the slide (Where the bumper and water valve is) was where the bell is, causing it not to close!
