What is a "slide"?
A slide is a movable part found on certain brass instruments, such as trombones and slide trumpets. It is used to change the length of the instrument's tubing, which alters the pitch of the notes produced. By extending or retracting the slide, the musician can adjust the instrument's pitch smoothly and play a range of notes without the need for valves. The slide mechanism allows for greater control over pitch and tuning, and it is a key feature for creating smooth transitions between notes.
